While, under the proposed change, the season may sometimes start on the same date as election day, there is no reason anyone would necessarily schedule a game on election day. They certainly could, or, they could just wait to play until Wednesday when the conflict occurs.
And the occurrence of the overlap would not actually be every other year. Sometimes, the election day would be the week before the day the season would start. Election day can be as early as Nov. 2nd or as late as Nov. 8th while the season (under the proposal) would start whatever Tuesday fell between Nov. 5th and 11th.
