The best solution is to have the polls open at midnight. Or even be open 24 hours (not midnight to midnight though more like 8pm previous night to 8pm)

No, because then I can't vote until after sunset (nor would many orthodox Jews).  Tuesdays may not be the best days, but I can't think of any day that would necessarily be better.  If I knew ahead of time that I couldn't vote on Election Day, then I'd just request an absentee ballot.

You just said in your last sentence how to avoid the issue of the first sentence.
