A noble gesture, but are not all the Eastern Time Zone polls closed by the time NBA games start?

worcester,

No.

Polls generally close around 8pm on Election Day, which is always a Tuesday, a work day for most. Celtic home games begin at 7:30pm. Add in the time you need to leave to get to the game that leaves no time after work to vote if you are registered to vote in your home Congressional district (which you should be) and you don't work in your home district.
