支撑美国人工智能（AI）热潮的数据中心快速扩张，即将在今年11月迎来全民投票，全国选民将对相关议案进行表决，这些议案将决定这类大型设施的选址和建设方式。
选民将在加利福尼亚州、佛罗里达州、伊利诺伊州、堪萨斯州、内华达州、俄亥俄州和威斯康星州这7个州，对34项与数据中心相关的投票议案作出裁决。
在其他州纷纷考虑或出台数据中心开发限制措施之际，这些议案的出台凸显了数据中心迅速成为政治焦点的速度。

福克斯新闻上月开展的一项全国民调显示，选民难以平衡人工智能的潜在益处与支撑该技术的数据中心带来的经济和环境成本。
71%选民反对在本地建设AI数据中心，近半数强烈反对
超过七成（71%）的选民反对在其所在地区建设人工智能数据中心，其中46%的选民表示强烈反对。超过半数（52%）的选民支持在偏远地区建设数据中心，而44%的选民对此表示反对。
总体而言，60%的选民对人工智能持负面看法，37%的选民持正面看法。这23个百分点的差距比福克斯新闻7月民调时扩大了一倍多。
福克斯新闻的民调还发现，民众对人工智能和数据中心的看法存在党派分歧。对人工智能持正面看法的选民多为共和党人，而持负面看法的选民多为民主党人。

两党在数据中心问题上的分歧更为明显：支持数据中心建设的选民中共和党人居多，而反对者中民主党人居多。
随着人工智能政策成为华盛顿和竞选活动中日益明显的分歧点，这种党派分裂也随之出现。
AI正在助推政治广告大战，但病毒式传播并不等同于胜利
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普反对对人工智能行业实施广泛的联邦监管，并警告称美国不能让中国在这场技术竞赛中获胜。
但随着中期选举临近，关于人工智能及其支撑的数据中心的辩论正在全国各竞选活动中展开。
在得克萨斯州，此前曾积极吸引大型科技投资的共和党州长格雷格·雅培最近下令暂停数据中心的许可和电网连接审批，等待全州范围的影响审计。民主党候选人吉娜·希诺霍萨则支持临时禁令。

与此同时，该州的参议院竞选活动中，共和党州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿和民主党州众议员詹姆斯·塔拉里科就该行业的税收减免政策展开了激烈辩论。
在俄亥俄州，这场辩论既出现在竞选活动中，也体现在投票议案里。今年11月，该州17个选区将就20项与数据中心相关的议案进行投票——这一数量超过其他任何州，占全国34项投票议案的一半以上。

民主党参议院候选人谢罗德·布朗抨击共和党参议员乔恩·赫斯特德的 data 中心发展政策。特朗普在为赫斯特德助选时，为该行业的经济潜力进行了辩护。
“听着，俄亥俄州能赚到这么多钱，你不能直接把它们关掉，”特朗普说道。

America’s multibillion tech boom comes into focus as 7 key states put it to a midterm test
October 8, 2026 5:00am EDT / Fox News
Voters will weigh 34 data center-related measures across seven states this November, with more than half in Ohio

The rapid buildout of data centers powering America’s artificial intelligence (AI) boom is heading to the ballot box this November, as voters across the country weigh measures that could shape where and how the massive facilities are built.
Voters will decide 34 data center-related ballot measures across seven states — California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Nevada, Ohio and Wisconsin.
The measures come as states elsewhere have considered or imposed limits on development, underscoring how quickly data centers have become a political flashpoint.

A Fox News national poll conducted last month found voters struggling to reconcile AI’s potential benefits with the economic and environmental costs of the data centers that power the technology.
8 EVERYDAY THINGS THAT WOULD QUIT WORKING WITHOUT DATA CENTERS
More than seven in 10 voters (71%) opposed building AI data centers in their area, including 46% who strongly opposed them. More than half (52%) supported building them in remote locations, while 44% opposed.
Overall, 60% of voters had a negative view of AI, compared with 37% who viewed it positively. That 23-point gap has more than doubled since a July Fox News poll.
The Fox News poll also found a partisan divide over AI and data centers. Voters with favorable views of AI leaned Republican, while those with unfavorable views leaned Democratic.

The divide was even sharper over data centers, with Republicans performing better among voters who supported them and Democrats among those who opposed them.
That partisan split comes as AI policy emerges as a growing fault line in Washington and on the campaign trail.
AI IS SUPERCHARGING POLITICAL AD WARS. BUT VIRAL DOESN’T MEAN VICTORIOUS
President Donald Trump has opposed wide-ranging federal regulation of the AI industry and warned that the U.S. cannot allow China to win the technology race.
But as the midterms approach, the debate over AI and the data centers powering it is playing out in races across the country.
In Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who previously courted major tech investments, recently ordered a pause on data center permitting and grid connections pending an audit. Democratic challenger Gina Hinojosa has supported temporary moratoriums.

Meanwhile, in the state’s Senate race, Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democratic state Rep. James Talarico have battled over tax breaks for the industry.
In Ohio, the debate is playing out both on the campaign trail and at the ballot box. The state has 20 data center-related measures across 17 jurisdictions this November — more than any other state and more than half of the 34 measures going before voters nationwide.

Democratic Senate challenger Sherrod Brown has attacked Republican Sen. Jon Husted over data center development. Trump, campaigning for Husted, defended the industry’s economic potential.
“Look, there’s so much money to be made for Ohio, you can’t just turn them off,” Trump said.
