It's better than the current voting system but its still dysgenic and would promote r-selection which is bad in the long run. Because families that get many children (r-selection) will get more votes over time.
You want a voting system that favors k-selection.

What? No what I mean is that one vote, will equal one family it won't matter how many people are in the family as they will be counted as one entire unit.

Also r-selection is people who pump and dump, and k are people who have life long partnerships right?

I don't see how how r-selection people will succeed as all families votes will be equal and only families where mommy and daddy is married will be able to vote.

Family R: 5 kids (1 vote)
Next generation:
Family R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 (5 votes)

Family K: 1 kid (1 vote)
Next generation:
Family K1 (1 vote)

Etc.
After a few generations R-selected families will have a bigger marketshare of the votes which is bad for society.

Wait a second I don't get how having multiple kids per family is dysgenic.... Also having one kid per couple isn't sustainable enough to keep the population alive. There would be less and less people each generation, and that would be a bad thing considering how there will be foreign nations that keep on breeding, and preparing for invasion.

Yes, it gets complicated real fast and R/K is a simplified model.
Having multiple kids per family isn't dysgenic - it's the other way around. R-selected people tend to get more kids which is dysgenic for a society. A K selected family having many kids is great afaik.

You can think of it like this:
Plenty of food => R-selection is "best" because there is enough food to spam lots of kids.
Competition for food => K-selection is "best" because each family needs to compete for the limited food.

K-selected people are better than R-selected. 1 to 1. But here's the thing; a K-selected society would create a paradise which would create an environment where R-selection outcompetes the K-selected individuals (because there would be plenty of food in the paradise and hence competition is not required).

You're right about having one kid per couple isn't sustainable.

K-selected people have higher IQ, stronger, bigger, etc. R-selected is the cheap version.
