The first map shows what the time zone boundaries would look like if all the states through which the governing meridians pass chose to have the entirety of their state stay in their current time zone, maintaining current standard time year round.
The second shows what they would look like if all of them chose to have the entirety of their state join the time zone to the east, maintaining current daylight time year round.
Chances are that many of these states will choose to have the boundaries run through less populated portions of their states, allowing the communities within their boundaries to join the most appropriate timezone based on their location. The third map shows one possible scenario. If you have any ideas or comments, please post them.
