Releasing the results based on time zone is not a good idea. Some states cross more than one time zone and the results should not be released until all polls in that state are closed.
12 states have 2 times zones. Oregon (Pacific time zone, Mountain time zone), Montana (Pacific, Mountain), North Dakota (Mountain, Central), South Dakota (Mountain, Central), Nebraska (Mountain, Central), Kansas (Mountain, Central), Texas (Mountain, Central), Michigan (Central, Eastern), Indiana (Central, Eastern), Kentucky (Central, Eastern), Tennessee (Central, Eastern), Florida (Central, Eastern)
So, these 12 states should have their results delayed until polls close in the later time zone, or the poll times can be adjusted so the polls close at the same time statewide.
The single most effective way to reduce the kind of shenanigans ongoing in FLA is to ensure that once the polls close, NO MORE BALLOTS CAN BE ACCEPTED!
NO exceptions.
