No not entirely. You have to be registered to vote like 30 days prior to the election and registration can be mailed in. There has been a lot of registration fraud especially where I live here in Ohio. We register voters at the library I work at and we have had incidecences of Obama supporters insisting on trying to pick up registrations from our predominantly republican area branches and who knows what they were planning to do with them. We always send our ballots directly to the board of elections. A group called ACORN here whom Obama is loosely tied to has turned in 100's of thousands of fradulent registrations just from Ohio that are currently being disputed in supreme court over here. There was a week at the beginning of the month where you could walk into the BOE and register and vote on the same day. Obama supporters came in from out of state and ACORN too were sweeping the streets during this time and picking up homeless people and anyone else they could get to take them in to register and vote on the same day. I'm not saying this activity was actually bad or there was anything inappropriate going on but Ohio has been in the middle of election melee several times before. We very well once again could decide this election as in 2000.
