AI安全组织警告共和党因数据中心项目流失选民
“人类优先”组织主席艾米·克雷默表示，反对AI数据中心的立场促使深红县在2026年中期选举中进一步脱离共和党，她警告称，拟建项目可能在共和党传统票仓引发更多抵触情绪。
NEW 现在您可以收听福克斯新闻的文章了。
独家报道·来自福克斯：保守派AI安全组织的一项新分析发现，与没有这类项目的同类县相比，拥有大型数据中心或拟建项目的深红县在上周的中期选举中进一步转向民主党。
福克斯数字新闻获得了“人类优先”组织的分析报告，该报告审查了16个州共1540个县的公开选举结果和数据中心项目记录。这份备忘录通过多项对比，衡量了该组织所说的“数据中心惩罚”。在所有接受审查的县中，与所在州内没有数据中心的县相比，拥有大型数据中心的县向民主党倾斜了额外2.2个百分点。这种模式在16个州中的14个、以及接受审查的27个州长和参议院竞选中的25个州都存在。
若将分析范围限定在深红县（即2024年唐纳德·特朗普总统以至少20个百分点优势获胜的县），则显示拥有大型数据中心的县与同类无项目县之间存在2.1个百分点的原始差距。
在仍处于项目规划阶段的深红县中，在考虑过去投票模式、城乡属性、人口规模、种族族裔构成和近期投票趋势后，差距为1.1个百分点。

该组织在92个深红县中发现了114个拟建大型数据中心项目，可能引发更多地方层面的较量。
备忘录发现，与没有大型数据中心的同类县相比，深红县支持共和党的票数额外下降了1.1%，而民主党得票数没有出现显著变化。
备忘录提醒称，其研究结果仅显示相关性，而非数据中心导致选民行为改变的证据。县级选举结果也无法确定是共和党人转而投票，还是干脆待在家里未参与投票。
“我们的分析考察了有数据中心的县的投票情况，以及这些县向左倾斜的趋势，”“人类优先”组织主席艾米·克雷默告诉福克斯数字新闻。
“我认为这种情况的出现，是因为我一段时间以来一直在向保守派和共和党人发出警告：当问题影响到个人时，人们就会参与政治。没有什么比钱包、医疗、子女家庭、住房和社区更个人化的了。数据中心涉及所有这些方面，这就是为什么我相信这些县转向了脱离共和党，”她补充道。

“人类优先”组织的“数据中心反抗”巴士之旅9月在27个州进行了35站活动，其中包括分析覆盖州内的14站。在深红县的9站活动中，所有站点都有一个大型数据中心项目。在分析排除相关因素后，这9个县向民主党额外倾斜了2.2个百分点，而所有有数据中心的深红县整体仅倾斜了0.75个百分点。该组织表示，同样这9个县在2020年至2024年期间没有出现类似差距。
这些结果并未表明该组织的访问影响了投票行为，或是这些县原本就对数据中心发展存在更强的反对情绪。
另外，根据 ballotpedia 网站的数据，2026年在47项与数据中心相关的地方公投措施中，选民有46项支持限制数据中心发展，或是否决了支持这类项目的公投。这些措施包括不同类型的提案，如发展限制和咨询性质的公投问题。
克雷默表示，这是一个地方控制权的问题，强调共和党应专注于保护财产权，并确保人们能够掌控事务如何影响自身生活。
“无论您谈论的是AI技术，还是建设AI数据中心所需的基础设施，美国民众都没有参与决策的机会，”克雷默表示，“他们无法参与决策技术如何影响自身，或是数据中心建设如何影响社区。在全国许多地方，开发商和公司已闭门达成交易，在黑暗中操作，通过保密协议和空壳公司行事。等到社区民众发现项目时，已经太晚了，无法阻止它。”
“这些项目影响生活质量和民众收入。它们会推高水电费用，同时却给予万亿美元级别的公司税收减免——这些都是世界上最富有的公司。这是从美国民众口袋里掏钱，”她继续说道。
克雷默补充说：“当您谈到伊朗和汽油价格、关税，以及现在的AI数据中心建设时，所有这些成本都来自民众的钱包。这就是民众参与政治的时候，我认为这就是我们上周二所见证的。”
这些担忧出现在关于数据中心应如何支付所需电力和电网基础设施成本的更广泛辩论背景下。能源部估计，2024年美国数据中心占全国用电量的4.7%，并在参考情景中，到2030年可能占比达11.8%。联邦能源监管委员会已指示区域电网运营商防范将服务大客户的成本转嫁到其他用户身上。这些进展并未证明数据中心导致“人类优先”组织所审查的县家庭电价上涨。
税收优惠也因州而异。全国州议会会议报告称，至少有38个州专门为数据中心提供优惠，包括设备免税，部分州还提供电力或财产税减免。行业贸易组织数据中心联盟表示，这类优惠与提供给其他资本密集型行业的优惠类似，并认为数据中心能创造就业、带来投资和增加税收。
“人类优先”组织不支持全国或全州范围的数据中心禁令，但克雷默表示，各社区应自由批准或否决项目。

克雷默表示：“如果社区联合起来投票通过禁令，这是它们的权利。如果社区想要数据中心，这也是它们的权利。一切都关乎地方控制权，”
克雷默表示，她了解到，当问题影响到个人时，人们会更积极参与，指出数据中心“涵盖了所有这些问题”。
“无论您谈论的是钱包问题、医疗、子女家庭，还是住房和社区，数据中心之争都是所有这些关切的具体体现，”她说道，“当涉及到对社区的经济影响时，我认为数据中心在选举中绝对发挥了作用。”
“我希望我们能走上正轨，将地方控制权还给社区。人们应该能够决定自己的生活方式以及社区中建设什么。这是非常个人化的，我希望我们能朝这个方向推进，”克雷默补充道。

Red counties with data center projects swung away from GOP in midterms, analysis finds
Voters favored limits in 46 of 47 local data center ballot measures, according to the Humans First analysis

AI safety group warns Republicans are losing voters over data center projects
Humans First Chairwoman Amy Kremer said opposition to AI data centers helped drive deep-red counties away from Republicans in the 2026 midterms, warning that proposed projects could fuel more backlash in GOP strongholds.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX:A new analysis from a conservative AI safety group found that deep-red counties with large data centers or proposed projects shifted further toward Democrats in last week’s midterm elections than comparable counties without such projects.
Humans First’s analysis, obtained by Fox News Digital, examined public election returns and data-center project records in 1,540 counties across 16 states. The memo used several comparisons to measure what the group describes as a “data center penalty.” Across all counties examined, those hosting large data centers shifted an additional 2.2 percentage points toward Democrats compared with non-host counties in the same states. The pattern appeared in 14 of the 16 states and 25 of the 27 governor and Senate races examined.
Restricting the analysis to deep-red counties — those President Donald Trump won by at least 20 points in 2024 — produced a 2.1-point raw gap between counties hosting large data centers and comparable counties without projects.
Among deep-red counties with projects still in the proposal stage, the gap was 1.1 percentage points after accounting for past voting patterns, rural or urban status, population size, racial and ethnic makeup and recent voting trends.
TEA PARTY FOUNDER LAUNCHES NATIONWIDE ‘DATA CENTER REVOLT’ AGAINST AI DATA CENTER EXPANSION

The group identified 114 proposed large data center projects across 92 deep-red counties, potentially setting up more local fights.
The memo found that Republican vote totals fell an additional 1.1% in deep-red host counties compared with comparable counties without large data centers, while Democratic vote totals showed no significant change.
The memo cautioned that its findings show an association rather than proof that data centers caused voters to change their behavior. County-level results also cannot determine whether Republicans switched their votes or simply stayed home.
“Our analysis looked at how counties with data centers voted and how those counties moved to the left,” Humans First Chairwoman Amy Kremer told Fox News Digital.
“I think this happened for the reason I’ve been warning conservatives and Republicans about for some time: People engage politically when issues affect them personally. There’s nothing more personal than your pocketbook, your health care, your kids and family, your home and your community. A data center involves all of those things, which is why I believe these counties moved away from Republicans,” she continued.

Humans First’s September “Data Center Revolt” bus tour made 35 stops in 27 states, including 14 stops in the states covered by the analysis. Nine of those stops were in deep-red counties, all of which hosted a large data center project. Those nine counties shifted 2.2 points further toward Democrats after the analysis accounted for its controls, compared with a 0.75-point shift among deep-red host counties overall. The group said those same nine counties showed no comparable gap from 2020 to 2024.
The findings do not establish whether the group’s visits influenced voting behavior or whether those counties already had stronger opposition to data center development.
Separately, voters favored restrictions on data center development or rejected measures supporting such projects in 46 of 47 local data center ballot measures in 2026, according to Ballotpedia. The measures included different types of proposals, including restrictions on development and advisory questions.
Kremer said this is a local control issue, stressing that Republicans should focus on protecting property rights and ensuring people have control over how things affect their lives.
“Whether you’re talking about AI technology or the infrastructure needed to build AI data centers, the American people have not had a seat at the table,” Kremer said. “They haven’t had a say in how the technology affects them or how the data center buildout affects their communities. In many places across the country, developers and companies have gone in and cut deals behind closed doors, under a cloak of darkness, using nondisclosure agreements and shell companies. By the time people in the community find out about the project, it’s too late to stop it.”
“These projects affect the quality of life and how much money people have. They can increase the cost of electricity and water, while tax abatements are given to trillion-dollar companies — some of the wealthiest companies in the world. That is money coming out of the pockets of the American people,” she continued.
Kremer added, “When you talk about Iran and gas prices, tariffs and now the AI data center buildout, all of these costs are coming out of people’s pockets. That’s when people engage politically, and I think that’s what we saw last Tuesday.”
The concerns come amid a broader debate over how data centers should pay for the electricity and grid infrastructure they require. The Energy Department estimates data centers used 4.7% of U.S. electricity in 2024 and, in its reference case, could account for 11.8% by 2030. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has directed regional grid operators to address safeguards against shifting the costs of serving large electricity users onto other customers. Those developments do not establish that data centers caused higher household rates in the counties examined by Humans First.
Tax incentives also vary by state. The National Conference of State Legislatures reported that at least 38 states offer incentives specifically for data centers, including equipment-tax exemptions and, in some states, exemptions involving electricity or property taxes. The Data Center Coalition, an industry trade group, says such incentives are similar to those offered to other capital-intensive industries and argues that data centers generate jobs, investment and tax revenue.
Humans First does not support a nationwide or statewide moratorium on data centers, but Kremer said individual communities should be free to approve or reject projects.

“If a community comes together and votes for a moratorium, that is its prerogative. If a community wants a data center, that is its prerogative as well. It is all about local control,” she said.
Kremer said she learned that people engage more when it comes to issues that affect them personally, noting that data centers “encompass all of those issues.”
“Whether you’re talking about pocketbook issues, health care, kids and family, or your home and community, the data center battle is a physical manifestation of all those concerns,” she said. “When it comes to the economic impact on their communities, I think data centers absolutely played a role in the election.”
“I hope we can get on the right page and give local control back to communities. People should have a say in how they live and what goes into their communities. That is very personal, and I hope we can move in that direction,” Kremer added.
