Why Does a Voting Machine Need Calibration? 398

If anyone wants their tablet recalibrated, they can send it to me. In my experience, the 64 gigabyte ipad 4 4g model is particularly prone to miscalibration. Typing errors can be a sign that recalibration is neccessary.

For the average /.er, voting IS like "doing it". You get a chance every couple of years, but quite often skip it or mail it in anyhow.
