The solution with timezone is a good one, but in version 3.6 you can also format the output using timezone, so, you get the result ready for use:

{
"$project":{
    "year_month_day": {"$dateToString": { "format": "%Y-%m-%d", "date": "$tDate", "timezone": "America/Chicago"}}
},
"$group":{
    "_id": "$year_month_day",
    "count":{"$sum":1}
}
}

Make sure that your "$match" also considers timezone, or else you will get wrong results.
