One of Heinlein's essays touched on this.  I think the "extra
vote per child" was a part of the "only women vote" variation.
Other variations were "You get to vote if you can solve a
custom generated for you quadratic equation with integer roots",
"You get extra votes for certain quantifiable contributions
to the betterment of mankind."

I wonder if J.D. Vance has read Heinlein.
