@theloadoutai: AI data centers were on the ballot Tuesday, and in a lot of places voters said no. At least 29 jurisdictions passed bans or limits, the Washington Post reports, and Stateline counts just one measure, in North Dakota, that went the data centers' way. Ohio voted on 21 measures. In Texas, Gina Hinojosa won the governor's race after promising a pause on new data centers. Results are unofficial until certified. Supporters point to jobs: industry-linked Ohio ads claimed $40B in investment and 95,000+ jobs (the ads' claims). And Axios says most data centers due in 2027 are already being built.
