Not in my case. The University of California is independent from the state, as stated in the state constitution, so it keeps everything it collects. I'm not sure about the situation with the California State University system, or the California Community Colleges. Yes, we have three separate college systems, ? bureaucracy.
Dartz, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but voter suppression tactics are pretty frequently employed already. Not universally, of course. In the same election, some states will allow a person to register and vote on the same day in a matter of minutes, while other states will purposefully have fewer polling places in poor areas so that voters have to wait in line for hours. There are already plenty of tactics for voter suppression, so I doubt changing the system would increase suppression that much.
