Background & analysis
According to a CNBC report published on November 5, 2026, voters in the U.S. midterm elections rejected nearly every state ballot measure tied to data center development. The measures came up in several states that sit at the heart of the AI data center buildout, and voters pushed back on the expansion on Election Night, with only one measure passing. CNBC framed the outcome as a sign of political resistance to AI data center growth at the local level. No further developments have been reported since, leaving the story at the point where most of the data center–related ballot measures were voted down.
