Many voters in the west, as well as Alaska, Hawaii, and Pacific Islands are disenfranchised because their votes might not be significant as the election could be over before their polls close.
Why should they come out and vote if the results are already determined. Also, results from eastern states might sway the results of states where voting is still in progress.
The solution would be to either have all polls close at the same time, or, results from all polls be made public at the same time.
All citizens would then feel relevant and that their votes count, no matter where they live or vote.
