It is a question of harm. In an election where the margin of victory is large, manual counting would make no difference. As a practical matter, all ballots / votes are treated equally in that situation. In a narrow election, it matters because manual counting and how you count, makes the difference in terms of hundreds or even thousands of votes. So in this situation, there is harm and thus the constitutional problem. The situation between Broward county (no standard, that left reporters observing shaking thier head) and Palm Beach where (whether you like it or not, it was a definable standard) demonstrated the potential difference plainly.
