Johannes,

You are missing the point. A machine count will produce the same tally time and time again on a properly punched card. The problem therefore is NOT in recounting the properly punched cards, it is in the subjectivity of interpreting the improperly punched ones as well as the objectivity of the people counting them. If a card is sligthly bulging (what they are now calling dimples) does candidate "B" get the vote? Will another election officer scrutinizing a similarly bulging card come to the same conclusion?

That, is the problem.
