On the first Tuesday in November:
East coast voting stops at 5PM
CentralST voting stops at 4PM
MountainST voting stops at 3PM
PacificST voting stops at 2PM
With the above scenario, all lower 48 voting stops at the same time. Networks or tweets wouldn’t have the opportunity to “call a state” while other voters were standing in line.
YES - citizens in California would have three less hours to vote than citizens in New York, but that’s a small concession for all voting being done at the same time.
Curious if any of you see an issue with my proposal?

This is ridiculous. The ability and time frame to vote should be the same across the board. It's not like the President will begin the following week, why rush this process?
