Abstract
The following allocation problem was encountered in considering optimal distribution of the 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives among the 50 states. It is impossible to have perfect equality of representation because fractional representation is not allowed, consequently, there has been a long history of controversy over criteria of equality.Keywords
