No, you need the signed cards to take to the NLRB and get an anonymous election.

The process actually ends up working like this:

1) you sign the cards

2) the company alleges that the cards were signed under duress and people didn't actually want to sign. This is a necessary step in order to invoke the NLRB process

3) this puts everything on hold for the months it typically takes for the NLRB to act, allowing the company time to engage in anti-union activities.
