"Huntington-Hill's voting method"
| |
I have a problem about the voting method Huntington-Hill's disucss in this website. It'seems that under the rule of this method, even if a party get one vote, it will be allocated a seat in the council, as the modified quota must be greater than the GM which is zero. Is it really the case ? Is USA using this method now ? Can someone help me ? Thankss |

According to the US Constitution, every state, however small, has at least one representative in the Congress. All apportionment methods that were ever used have been rigged to satisfy this requirement. The HH method needs no rigging. This a subject of continued controversy whether the HH method should be replaced with Webster's. Politics are at play here HH is the current method used in the US. If you are interested, I very much recommend G. Szpiro's Numbers Rule. |
