That's a good point and it maybe a good reason to adjust the poll times such that they open at different times but close at the same time.
For example, maybe open Maine's polls at 10:00AM and keep then open until 10:00PM. (ET)
Open polls in Chicago at 9:00 AM and close them at 9:00PM
Open Polls in Boulder at 8:00AM and close them 8:00PM
etc.
That way they would all open at the same moment and close at the same moment and be open for the same length of time.
That would allow Pearl Harbor to have the same precinct important as Portland, ME.
