Cassette is my word for it. I don't know what they actually call them that's just what they remind me of. The machines I saw only had electrical wires to outlets. Now they may have a wi-fi system but I doubt the volunteer fire department where I vote lets them use their wi-fi and if so that's easy enough to check for any skullduggery. So that would mean they needed cell connections which rules out the internet.
USB storage on the machine that talley the ballots, the stick is removed and transported to the election administrator. Our pollbooks are connected to the internet via a portable wifi device.

If you have a smart phone you can look for Wi-Fi, it will show any near your phone.
Hidden SSIDs are what you'd want to look for. I think there are apps that can detect them. 100% sure tho
