During the US midterm elections held on Tuesday, voters expressed their stance on over 40 local measures concerning the establishment of AI data centers. The results showed significant opposition, with nearly all measures being rejected except for one.
This widespread disapproval comes as Democrats are poised to take control of Congress in January, alongside new governors in Texas and Georgia advocating for moratoriums on the construction of such facilities. As a result, the expansion of AI data centers faces considerable political challenges.
