Not true. They are done at various times. Donnie Rollins (who butcherd five University of Fla. Students & put their body parts on display) was executed at 6:00 pm.

It's up to the individual states to decide what time to carry out executions.

I believe it started when the electric chair was the prefered method of execution. That way the power drain would not be noticed.
OK the real truth is that all those executed at that time have their lifeforce sent to empower Carl Rove and his dark apprentice.

People are constitutionally less likely to resist during those hours than during the daytime.
Besides that, it's customary. But as MLaw says, not invariable.
As for sparhawk7322: execution chambers had their own generators for electric power, mostly for political reasons as well as reliability.

Gives the a**holes holding execution night tailgate parties in the prison parking lot a chance to get good and drunk first.

That is when most people are not using electricity. Therefore, they can zap them with as many volts as possible. Smokin'!

To get it done as soon as possible - less time for resistance.
