Why?

Would that apply throughout the United States, including Hawaii, Puerto Rico,
and Arizona?

Would tm_isdst be set uniformly?

Would regions wanting light on winter mornings be allowed to select
a more westerly time zone with approval of the Secretary of Transportation?

Would it happen precipitously in 2024 causing maximum confusion about
poll closing time with electronic devices not updated?
