There are multiple types of modem. "Modem" by itself generally refers to a dial-up modem.

Dial-up modems require a land line and a cable to work.

Voting machines have Cellular Modems, which of course are wireless, and can access the internet anywhere there is a cell signal.

Please start calling them Cellular Modems, which is what they are, and is more appalling to read since the consequence is immediately understood.
