My initial thought is to agree. But what would we do in the situation where a computer error caused it to be weighted toward something other than date of application? What if it were 90% people with last names that start with "R"? Or 90% males?

If the algorithm demonstrated a bias for or against a protected class (nationality, gender, etc.), then one could argue against honoring results. Otherwise, be fair to the people who "won." In most cases, I would argue that revoking visas that have already been awarded would cause an unacceptable amount of human suffering. The course of action with the least harm to applicants in specific and society in general is running a second lottery.
