Apparently not. Here is a snippet from this oped in the SF Chronicle by Bruce McPherson:

In 2002, Congress passed, and President George W. Bush signed, the historic Help America Vote Act to ensure all eligible Americans the right of access, accuracy, independence and privacy in voting. But a cloud of uncertainty still hangs over these precious rights as Congress travels around the nation to hold hearings on the reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act. It should save time, energy and airfare and just vote to extend the act permanently.
