After the collapse of the RTS in previous election due to overwhelming of the network, any measures to compress the images had to be employed.If the network was not the bottleneck, why would IEBC find it difficult to scale up server side processing ? 5MB per station wouldn't even take 250GB for the entire country. The improved quality would be more beneficial than saving a little money. Storage and processing is quite cheap nowadays.
No taking chances.
