In published media it’s getting really frustrating to find articles that seem like honest reviews. The NYT did an article on toaster recommendations and they praised one for having something like a 3 year warranty because “toasters aren’t known for their longevity.”
The problem was that hand counting votes in a county of our size is not legal, and I’m pretty sure we ended up switching to different machines anyway, so it seems to have just cost money and turmoil for no benefit to us.
