Briefings

In November 2026, American voters rejected the Trump administration and Silicon Valley's vision of a tech oligarchy, rejecting the 'bad things' caused by AI and automation. Across Red, Blue, and Purple States, voters rejected the kleptocracy and corruption of the last two years. Key figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk faced strong opposition, while major tech CEOs including Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella were criticized for letting AI drive mass anxiety and unemployment. A significant portion of voters opposed data center projects, with 39 out of 40 ballot measures restricted in Ohio, and Governor Kathy Hochul won reelection in New York by enacting a statewide moratorium on new hyperscale data centers.

Key points

• Voters in Red, Blue, and Purple States rejected the Trump administration and Silicon Valley's vision of a tech oligarchy, rejecting the 'bad things' caused by AI and automation.
• In Ohio, 39 out of 40 ballot measures about AI data center projects were restricted, with Democrat Sherrod Brown winning a five-point election on a campaign to rein in data centers.

Context

This election occurred in late 2026, following the Trump administration's two-year tenure. The finding matters because it demonstrates a public rejection of the 'bad things' caused by AI and automation, contrasting with the administration's policies on data centers and AI integration.

Limitations
