American Voters Overwhelmingly Reject AI Data Centers
Data centers were on the ballot in dozens of races last night. They lost most of them.
60 Minutes
What the coverage shows
All four outlets frame the election as a rebuke to data centers and to Big Tech more broadly, with 404 Media and 60 Minutes using the strongest language about rejection. Reason is the only outlet to emphasize exit-poll evidence that data centers were a top issue for voters, while Vox alone adds a local example from Perry, Ohio and suggests a possible blueprint for future deals. 60 Minutes is also the only one to quantify the result with 44 ballot measures passing.
