This article says they used machines to count them and they then hand tallied the results.

From your link, yes it does say that the machines are still doing the counting.

In a hand recount, instead of scanners reading and tallying the vote on each ballot, scanners will be used only to count ballots.

That seems like a big strike against the it's-not-the-machines argument.
