A day is any continuous 24 hour period. If the polls opened at 7:00 a.m. on November 3 then the end of the election day would be 6:59 a.m. on November 4. It is the responsibility of the election officials to devote sufficient resources to complete the task within the allocated time. Failure to meet the deadline does not mean the state does not participate in the election, it only means that the state legislature determines how the electors are chosen.

Sorry, not buying that, where did you get that definition?
A day, is comprised of a twenty four period beginning at 12:01 AM and ending at 12:00 PM. Therefore Tuesday, election day begins at 12:01 AM Tuesday and ends at 12:00 PM Tuesday. It doesn’t matter what time you open the polls on that Tuesday, the “Election Day” will end at midnight and the day becomes Wednesday, the day after the election.
