I've had this happen to me.

I upload ALL my logs to LoTW.
I get qsls, and import that info into my logging program.
Occasionally, a logged qso may not have correct state information due to the 
other person 
having moved since last version of log book, or he may be operating from other 
than his 
home.

When the other person uploads his log to LoTW, if he does not correctly enter 
the state 
and county info during the 'signing' process, the LoTW qso will not show the 
change 
between where he originally said he was when obtained his 'certificate'.

Now if he corrects the missing info, and resubmits the log, the NEW overwritten 
LoTW qsl 
will be tabulated into the awards totals and show differences from the previous 
tabulation.

This effect is REALLY noticeable after a 'QSO Party'.
Rovers realize they forgot to change their county to reflect that portion of 
the /M and 
correct it, resubmit etc.
