Machines once they get network should sync
Explain further.
They do not have a network? What machines to be specific
There are scenarios where some packets can be received late. Like in a message queue. It would make sense to use a message queue for a system like that to
1) ease the load on the main server and
2) facilitate loose coupling and reduce the chances of losing messages that have been sent.
The message queue server receives each message(presumably the text)...Even if the main server is down or unreachable from the message queue server for some reason, these messages will not be rejected or lost. As soon as the main server wakes up, the message queue server will connect and deliver the messages. That way things keep moving even if the main server is not ready to receive results.
But you have to believe that this information has been in limbo for four days waiting for some servers to connect. I have not gotten any indication from IEBC that they have this kind of problem. Also I don't recall KPMG report mentioning any message queue server architecture in place in KIEMS.
This is mostly pure speculation on my part, - playing devil's advocate - IEBC are best placed to explain these things. And their explanations could lead to more questions and so on. Yes, this remains weird in a normal setup.
