Right: false positive from the perspective of catching fraud, false negative from the perspective of accepting good ballots, is what I mean, exactly. Same thing, different way of phrasing it.
Anyone know what the rejection rate for in-person paper ballots is, in the US, typically? It's hard to judge how much worse this is at successful voting than in-person with paper. My gut tells me increased participation would dwarf even a hard 10% rejection rate, assuming no improvement could be made, and if the in-person rejection rate's not near-zero then it's really a big win, but maybe not.
Meanwhile stories like this are making me really nervous about the public perception of November's vote, regardless how well they're actually run.
