There is, of course, no bias in the types of people who are comfortable with and can easily pass a background check, and those who are not or cannot.

In a free and fair election, the right to vote is not be based on your detailed personal history, or whether you have done something that looks off and might cause you trouble with authorities.

Even if it's just fear of imagined trouble that puts people off feeling safe to obtain the necessary approvals to vote, that's enough to prevent a free and fair election.
