Speculation: the voting machines are not connected to networks - as a precaution against backing - so their results are copied to a flash drive and brought to a PC for upload.
I agree with this. Why the hell would we need to put votes on a memory card? What is wrong with writing down the totals from a machine on an official sheet of paper and then calculating totals off of that? Was the argument that people cannot add so we should have a machine do it? This memory card thing creates an even harder to audit trail, it also helps to hide the actual vote total. It gives a chance to falsify the stored values and have them be different than the calculated totals.
How?? Why are votes getting moved onto memory cards? And where were they found?
Freedom sure does feel fake lately.
Freedom is the prize. The question is "what will it take to achieve it?"...

Except it turns out they were on networks after all.
Well, they need their plausible deniability.
