In Floyd county more than 2,000 votes switched sides out of roughly 40,000 votes. So it now has a real world demonstrated error rate of 0.5% which is not insignificant.
For example, I would not trust a calculator with a 0.5% error to do my taxes. I wouldn't even us it on an exam.

Officials attributed the error to “gross incompetence” on the part of the county’s elections director.
