Hi Marshall,
That would earn you a Nobel Prize if you could figure out how to do
it. The electrodes would wear down faster, and electroplating would
require less current. The aluminum refining industry would lay gold
at your feet - electricity is expensive:)
A brief trip through google produced many references to Faraday's
laws. Here's one:
"Faraday's investigations into the nature of electricity also led
him to formulate new scientific laws. For example, he determined
that in electrolysis the mass of a substance deposited or
dissolved at the electrode will be proportional to the amount of
charge that passes through the solution - this became the first
law of electrolysis."

Faraday's work eventually led to the discovery of the electron:

OT, but Faraday was recognized by his peers as one of the most
important scientists of the time. Here's a beautiful article by
Hemholtz in 1881:

I think his work pretty well established that one electron accounts
for one ion, and his laws are on pretty solid ground.
