Do an internet search on “Georgia hand recount 2020,” dude. They counted them by hand. It took about two weeks.
That was pretty much the end of the hand recounts because by that time everyone in the Trump campaign knew that THE COMPUTERS WERE NOT THE ISSUE.
This article says they used machines to count them and they then hand tallied the results.
Wanna try again?
‘In a hand recount, instead of scanners reading and tallying the vote on each ballot, scanners will be used only to count ballots.
Election workers will hand sort ballots into piles for each candidate, and the machines will count those piles.’
So, yes, machines are still involved in counting the ballots.
