Votantes rechazan medidas para desarrollar centros de datos en varios estados

The Guardian informó que los votantes en varios estados aprobaron iniciativas de boleta que limitan o prohíben la construcción de nuevos centros de datos en la mayoría de las jurisdicciones durante las elecciones del. Semafor señaló que medidas similares se aprobaron en más de 30 municipios de nueve estados, estableciendo moratorias, prohibiciones o restricciones a proyectos de centros de datos.

Un análisis de CNBC mostró que los votantes en diez estados rechazaron 40 de 41 iniciativas locales, con solo una medida aprobada en Dakota del Norte. Ars Technica indicó que estos resultados coincidieron con victorias de candidatos demócratas que prometieron una regulación más estricta de la IA, mientras que líderes de la industria argumentaron que la decisión refleja preocupaciones económicas más amplias y no un mandato anti-tecnología.

One claim that initiatives to limit or ban new data centers were approved in most jurisdictions on November 5, 2026, had insufficient evidence.
