I think it would make sense to review the ballots in question again, yes.

Edit: but the intent of some (or all) of those may be very obvious to the human eye, though not clear to a computer.

If two hand counts differed, I’d be more concerned. That might indicate that some ballots are not clearly marked for computer or for human reading.

But yes, again, I think when it’s this close, some extra scrutiny on the ballots in question is in order.

during a hand recount usually multiple individuals (representing both candidates) are reviewing the ballots together. less likely to have issues during a recount than the machine counts as they will recount a set until the numbers line up for everyone.
