If the tabulation issue were the only problem, then yes, a hand recount could remedy it. Unfortunately, there are numerous other problems in play regarding chain of custody and duplicate ballots which means that we can't trust a recount to accurately show the will of the voters either.
No, because this caused huge delays at impacted polling sites as poll voters tried to explain to suspicious people that it's "perfectly fine" to stick your ballot in the box "to be counted later" instead of running it through the machine which can't read it due to the incorrect print sizing. How many people had to get back to work and left rather than wait in the even longer lines this created?
so then this can be solved with a hand recount of said ballots, no? a LEGITIMATE recount
