    This is the stupidest idea. Do people not realize how many people walk around with hotspot enabled on their phones? It’s so easy to forget it’s still on.

        Imagine your normal day of using hotspot coupled with needing to vote that day. It would be enabled while voting.

          I don’t use hotspot on my phone on a daily basis, I use it if I’m out in the field somewhere and my work laptop needs Wi-Fi and then the hotspot feature turns itself off automatically when my laptop is no longer connected to my phone for a period of time.

          I’ll occasionally use hotspot for my Wi-Fi only personal tablet as well while I’m traveling. But that’s about the extent of my use for it.
