This is possible. But once you have a system like this in place, it opens the possibility to come in later and have a less corrupt government, or even less corrupt courts, to use the number to verify citizenship and toss the illegal ballots.
Even if you don't tie the number to a particular ballot, if you can simply show that there was a significant number of non citizens voting it could be used as a basis for further reforms.
So I'm not really sure this would be a smart tactic for them. The current, completely blind voting environment, is obviously far superior from a fraud perspective.

You’re right, but only in theory.
In practice - they’ve deleted 200,000 ballot scans in just one state.
At that point - there is nothing that can be checked post factum and the original vote (by whomever was allowed to vote) becomes a new status quo.
