Obviously no. First, from a practical standpoint, enforcement would be a nightmare and it's difficult to imagine a greater waste of funding than that. Second, I'm not sure under what constitutional power any federal law could be enacted. Elections are largely run at the state and local level. Maybe at the local level it would be less susceptible to constitutional challenge.
Finally, I find it odd that people, especially on the left, would suggest a penalty or fine. Particularly when the people most likely to forget to show up, fail to register, can't get off work, etc., are low income and minority demographics. How unbelievably patronizing.
