Something doesn't smell right. Why are any voting machines up today? It isn't like there's an election just today?

Yes, air gapped means it's physically disconnected from the outside world.
In addition, if you wanted to maintain the air gap but wanted realtime aggregation of data you could use a device called a data diode which can write but cannot read, for example by sending data down a fiber optic with only a transmit line at the device and only a receive line on the reciever that plugs into the state network.

Last election I voted in was a checkmark on a piece of paper, and we knew the results by morning.
