Brad Carson compiled results showing all 41 data center moratorium proposals across the US failed at the ballot (41-0). In nearly every case, 67-80% of voters opposed the moratoriums — true in California, Ohio, and elsewhere. Ethan Perez amplified the lopsided results, suggesting voter sentiment on AI compute infrastructure is far more supportive than online discourse implies.
