In Heinlein's story you could serve in non-military also. The South is a larger than average participant in the military. I disagree that the Democratic party would find any advantage but the larger question would be "would the nation be better". The rich just aren't that large a voting bloc.

I believe that John Stuart Mills proposed a system where the higher educated you were the more votes you got. eg. A university proffessor might get 6 votes and a factory worker only 1 vote. I think this would be superior system for the Democrats because most republicans are inbred high school drop outs.
