I had assumed that the ballots were rescanned anyway but that may not be so.
The old lever type machines could be reset or rolled back like a speedometer. Humans checking ballots for their marks is time consuming and 2 or 3 people must visually inspect every ballot for an accurate count.
I doubt this recount will change the outcome. However, the delay and aggravation of the winners during the recount is worth every penny my entertainment dollar.
