Anyone that's worked on a system with distributed state knows data consistency can be hard, particular in situations where the system comes under load and latencies begin to increase.
You're not specifically complaining about it, but I think it's interesting that they are being criticized for not being transparent, and then being criticized based on that transparency when they are.
This isn't without precedent, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_United_States_presidentia... (or https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/02/04/iowa-seco... for more narrative). Just 8 years ago in the Republican caucus in Iowa they changed the announced winner more than two weeks afterward.
Edit: Apparently all those paper sheets also have PIN numbers to log into the app, so that probably is a contributing issue.
