How about No. There is a right to vote, just like a right to keep and bear arms. A quick background check to make sure that you are not a "prohibited person" (all conditions that prevent you from owning or possessing a firearm apply to voting). You have to fill out a form similar to a 4473 to vote. A voter I.D. card is then issued which is scanned into the system to ensure that you only vote once.
Absentee votes have a place for the I.D. number to be placed and is scanned in on your ballot. The scanning system does not keep track of your name or any other personal data, other than if the card is valid.
Voter registration in the field can be done and a card issued, but the card only activated after an O.K. from the "instant' background check is completed.
