The machines in November had network access.

Why would they need network access? Just have it record the numbers onto a portable drive then upload the results somewhere else that has access.

Is it too much work for poll people to transfer a usb stick to a laptop at the end of the day?

LOL I was replying to you literally saying the hacking demo at Defcon, where they had the physical machines right there in the room, was "not terribly useful unless you have unfettered access to the machines." I'm saying that wouldn't have mattered in November because they were networked.
