So the re-canvass means going over each ballot for authenticity? Isn’t that hard once the envelope with the signature is gone?
Ok I found the definitions for recanvass and recount:

A recanvass is different than a recount. It consists of local election officials recalculating election results to determine if there’s a difference in the number of votes that each candidate received.
A recount takes place through the court system and is paid for by the campaign that requests it. In a recount, the circuit court would be responsible for double-checking the ballots, and all election machines and other infrastructure would be turned over to the court.
In the case of mail-in ballots, I’m not sure how they’d do the recount once the authenticity of the ballots are in question.

I don’t think it’s all the ballots, If I understood it, it’s more like a sample. It might be similar to financial auditing.
In financial auditing, you first do a sample, and if no problems turn up, you move on. If problems happen, you increase the scope, but almost never examine all transactions-but statistically enough to be able to draw conclusions. Unless you were auditing a small company.
