Yep seems like that is the best plan to me. The ballots stay locked inside the machine till they are transported to the central election office where they remain locked up. The machine has some sort of specialized USB stick that is removed from the machine and uploaded at the central office. Nothing is transmitted over any network. We also get our results within hours of the polls closing instead of days or weeks later like it seems these other states do.
