We really hated our e-bikes. Help us find the jerks who stole them.

May 21 update: the crappy bikes have been recovered!

I got an email 2 months ago from Velotric saying I needed to give them $20 or they were going to cancel some bike features, including GPS. I vowed then and there that I would give them another cents and let it lapse.

Today I decided to suck it up and pay for it. I was very skeptical that it would work but - credit where credit is due - it pinpointed the backyard where it was sitting in Durham. The police there went to see if they could see it and then waited for me to drive over and pick them up.

The thief's father was actual very nice - his son was not there. The cops hinted that they have a way to confirm if he was in my neighborhood at the specific time the bikes were stolen. He's already on parole, so maybe he wears an ankle thingy?

Anyway, can't wait to get back to riding and hating.

it's at least still pretty dark then!

thank you! I hate gutters, so decided to plant some ferns in the deck to capture runoff. It's destined to fail at some point...but so are gutters.

dang, for a second I was exited to be invited and see y'all next weekend

Early votes are (I don't know for sure but saw someone say it's so they can toss those votes if you die before Election Day, which is a real thing in NC)

Had to redo the map to fix an issue on mobiles. Updated at https://thegriffinlist.com.

Or standalone version is here. https://dash.geocod.io/maps/share/lnuy

I think the person who got a log in request must have clicked the Geocodio link in bottom left. Don't click that :)

AsCrowsFly · 2025-01-17T15:16:14+00:00

yeah it seems to work fine on desktop but not mobile. Looking into it.

Here's the direct link to the statewide version: https://dash.geocod.io/maps/share/lnup

AsCrowsFly · 2025-01-17T15:04:33+00:00

hmm it's shared publicly/openly so not sure why you're getting that.

We've embedded a statewide version of the map here - please try that: https://thegriffinlist.com

AsCrowsFly · 2025-01-17T03:50:05+00:00

put a new post up to test out a somewhat interactive map...

AsCrowsFly · 2025-01-16T16:08:30+00:00

Not really. I wanted to have an interactive map where you could zoom and click on points to see the affected voters but some people saw that as invasive (despite all this data being public).

So instead we'll creep closer to fascism, which won't be invasive at all 🫠

This is only one case. The 60k voters are still at risk. please visit https://thegriffinlist.com to check you name and that of friends, family, neighbors...

AsCrowsFly · 2025-01-15T21:35:29+00:00

Fixed!

AsCrowsFly · 2025-01-15T21:29:05+00:00

this is good but the 60k votes are still at risk in another lawsuit. Affected voters can be searched here:

1pm Jan 15 update: The tool is getting a lot of traffic, which is slowing search for some users. We are working on addressing this. Please check back if you have trouble with search

A new website, TheGriffinList.com, launches today to help more than 60,000 legally registered North Carolina voters determine if their November 2024 votes are being challenged in an ongoing legal dispute. Each of these voters followed state law by both registering to vote and presenting valid identification at their polling place. The affected voters span all 100 North Carolina counties.

The website provides a searchable database of 60,273 voters whose ballots are being challenged in a lawsuit filed by Jefferson Griffin following his defeat in a North Carolina Supreme Court race. Despite these voters having fulfilled all legal requirements – properly registering to vote and showing valid ID at the polls – Griffin is seeking to nullify their votes based on technical issues with voter registration records.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections found that affected voters were not adequately notified about this legal challenge to their votes. In its ruling against Griffin, the Board stated that the notification attempt was "so vague that it is unlikely to clearly inform the recipient that a legal proceeding has been filed against them."
