Dan Burnam has served as an election clerk or judge every two years for the past 20 years in Denton County. On Election Day on Nov. 4, 2024, he turned away one in four of the voters who showed up at his polling location.

Read his Election Day story, sign our petition to end this madness: 

"In November 2024, I worked as an Election Judge on Election Day at the Denton North Branch Library. I asked the Election Workers at my location to track how many voters we had to redirect.

"That day we processed 596 votes. Our informal count indicated we redirected 191 potential voters to alternative locations. So out of 787 potential voters to enter our polling site, 24% were redirected. 

"Overall, being an election worker is a great experience. However, the most painful part comes on Election Day when it is required that voters be at their precinct’s assigned voting location. We always end up redirecting large numbers.

"The county realized the problem was bad, so they added a feature to the poll pad that will look up each voter’s assigned voting location and print a map with driving instructions or send them directly to their phone. 

"This certainly has helped, but still many people are being inconvenienced. And who knows how many are able to make it to the correct place in time to vote?

"Please take action today: sign the petition in support of countywide Election Day voting."
