Voters in states at the center of the AI data center boom pushed back against the buildout on Election Night, CNBC reported on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. According to the report, voters rejected data center measures on every ballot question except one during the 2026 midterms. The report did not give the specific measures, vote totals or the locations of the proposed facilities. The results add to local resistance to large data center projects that has grown alongside demand for AI computing capacity.
