Added votes don't necessarily mean a hacked machine.
For example, if contrast/gamma/whatever on the scanner can be adjusted (or any other way the ballots would be unable to be determined by the computer -- extra markings, bleed through, etc?), the ballots are considered uncertain. In this case, the ballot images go into a separate directory, and an election official can then choose to manually assign them to a candidate.
The employee scanning the ballots in would be none the wiser, and it looks like they're just doing their job.
I believe Rudy discussed this in the Pennsylvania hearing, and it seems a very practical way to cheat.
