2. I didn't get that from the story...not that it's written very clearly. :(
Assuming the reporting is correct, it says that information on a memory card from a broken "tabulator" didn't get uploaded. Someone noticed...I'm guessing...differences between the number of voters and the vote totals. So they uploaded the memory cards again and got a result they feel is right.

They don't mention scanning or hand counting ballots.

Memory cards are used on Optical scanners and DREs, alike. A similar situation with a VVPAT-less DRE could have the same outcome.
