AI Moved an Election for the First Time: 56% of Voters Say Data Centers Mattered, and 20-Plus Ballot Measures Passed

"Data centers in space looking pretty appealing right now." That was SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on X early Nov. 4, after spending more than $400 million backing conservative candidates. On the night Democrats won both chambers, 56% of voters called AI and data centers a crucial or major factor in their vote. Did data centers really decide races, and where do facts end and interpretation begin? We followed TIME, The Washington Post and Reuters.

AI Moved an Election for the First Time: 56% of Voters Say Data Centers Mattered, and 20-Plus Ballot Measures Passed

  1. First the number: 56% called it a major factor, yet it ranked last of five issues

    In the exit poll done for the TV networks, 56% of midterm voters said AI and data centers were a crucial or major factor in their congressional vote. The Washington Post reported that was the weakest of five issues, far behind government corruption, the war in Iran and cost of living. Blue Rose Research ranks AI 29th of 39 issues but says its salience rose more than any other in a year. Research director Ali Mortell said, "This was the first cycle where AI showed up in the political discourse, and it's arguably the least important that it will ever be again."

  2. Ohio: the senator called 'the face of data centers' lost

    TIME reported Democrats spent more than $100 million on broadcast ads casting Republican opponents as too cozy with Big Tech and data centers. In Ohio, Senator-elect Sherrod Brown ran millions in ads calling Sen. Jon Husted "the face of data centers in Ohio" and won by five points. The National Republican Senatorial Committee wrote in an August memo that data centers were "the anchor hanging around Husted's neck." The Post reported Democrat Amy Acton, who favors a moratorium, won Ohio's governor race, and Keisha Lance Bottoms, who made developer accountability a central plank, won in Georgia.

  3. Ballot measures: 20-plus passed, two mayors recalled

    The Post reported more than 20 ballot measures banning or restricting data centers passed. In Ohio, the group Conserve Ohio helped residents draft 10 charter amendments and co-founder Nick Owens said all 10 passed; it hopes to put a statewide ban on large data centers on next year's ballot. TIME said bans or moratoriums passed in places such as Edgewater, Fla., and Bloomington, Ill., and the mayors of Piqua, Ohio, and Yukon, Okla., were recalled over past support for data center projects.

  4. Money didn't buy votes: Musk's $446 million, AI super PACs' $100 million

    TIME reported Musk, the cycle's biggest donor at $446 million, put $168 million toward Ken Paxton in Texas, who lost to James Talarico. Pro-AI super PAC Leading the Future launched with more than $100 million, but one survey found three-quarters of likely voters would be less likely to back a candidate who took AI super PAC money, and donors including Greg Brockman backed away. The other side didn't sweep either: Anthropic gave $40 million to Public First Action (restricted from election activity) and employees gave $5 million separately. In a New York primary, pro-safety groups spent $21.3 million and industry $8.2 million against Alex Bores, who lost; the winner, Micah Lasher, co-sponsored the same AI safety law.

  5. A backyard issue: worse than a prison or a nuclear plant

    A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll last month found 7 in 10 Americans, including a majority of Republicans, oppose new data centers in their communities. Blue Rose Research polling found Americans would rather live near a prison, methadone clinic or nuclear plant. Complaints are noise, water, electric bills and lack of public input. S&P Global counted more than 145 data center projects delayed or canceled through early August, mostly over public opposition. Mortell said comparisons that data centers use less water than golf courses did little to reassure voters.

  6. Markets split: Big Tech up, operators down

    Reuters reported Microsoft rose 6.7% and Amazon 6.1% the day after, while data center operator Hut 8 fell 23% and IREN 11%; the Philadelphia Semiconductor index fell 3.1% to a six-month low. Citi said a change in pace of the buildout changes suppliers' trajectory. More in the Economy and AI section.

  7. Industry response: 'data centers' become 'AI compute campuses'

    The Post reported OpenAI now uses "AI compute campuses" in pitches to reporters, and Microsoft, Google and Amazon say they are dropping contract clauses that kept early project phases secret from residents. TIME, citing Axios, said OpenAI plans a policy and PR offensive and Meta is building a bipartisan team. OpenAI policy chief Chris Lehane wrote in a memo to potential 2028 Democratic candidates that if the US loses its AI lead to China because of data center limits, voters will vilify supporters of those limits much as they did Iraq War supporters (version published by Politico).

  8. Counterpoint and limits: laws won't change fast, deepfakes didn't swing races

    TIME noted Democrats need Republican votes to override a veto, so sweeping federal AI regulation is unlikely soon, though Congress could call executives to hearings and undo efforts to block state AI laws. Deepfakes were less decisive than feared: faked videos of Maine's Troy Jackson circulated the week before the election and he won by more than seven points, while Wisconsin's Derrick Van Orden lost after posting deepfakes of his opponent. The Post also relayed industry officials' view that a significant portion of roughly 600 large AI data centers planned or under construction will not become operational regardless of public reaction.

A Korean Job Seeker Vibe-Coded an 'Online Temple' Alone. 600,000 Visited in Three Days, and Copycat Churches, Saunas and Coal Mines Followed

"I didn't have time to go to a temple, so I built one." That is Park Jin-won, 26, an English-literature graduate looking for work, speaking to Korean broadcaster TJB. His website Sansa, built by describing features to an AI, went up on Threads and Instagram in late October and drew 600,000 visitors in three days, by his own count. A prayer hall that started with 20 cushions for personal use now seats 10,000, and within days online cathedrals, saunas and even a coal mine followed. Here is what drew people in, and what a solo developer ran into.

A Korean Job Seeker Vibe-Coded an 'Online Temple' Alone. 600,000 Visited in Three Days, and Copycat Churches, Saunas and Coal Mines Followed

  1. What it is: a 3D prayer hall where nobody talks

    Sansa is a 3D web app you open by URL, with no install or sign-up. Its tagline: "an online temple where we sit together without words." As a child-monk avatar you walk a wooden hall in the forest, greet others with palms together, bow on a cushion and roll prayer beads to build a count. The moktak and the Heart Sutra play only for you. There is no chat. Group services run daily at 5 a.m. and 6 p.m. KST. The Buddha statue is cut from a public-domain 3D scan of a gilt-bronze seated Buddha at the National Museum of Korea. It also runs as a Toss mini app.

  2. Who and why: a non-Buddhist job seeker, vibe coding

    According to Segye Ilbo, Park is not Buddhist but has fond memories of temples and a temple stay as a child. He wanted to rest at a temple but had neither time nor energy while job hunting, so he built one online, writing the code by describing what he wanted to a generative AI. "I honestly made it thinking I'd use it alone, and never expected this reaction," he said. "I think people needed a place to rest without saying anything."

  3. The numbers: 20 cushions to 10,000, 50,000 from Taiwan in a night

    It started with 20 cushions. As traffic surged he went to 100, then 1,200, then 10,000, and now runs 100 halls of 100 people each. On Oct. 29, 12,000 visitors in a day crashed the server; by that night daily visits passed 100,000. Park told Yonhap that 600,000 came in three days and 50,000 arrived from Taiwan overnight, with many from Vietnam and Thailand. Inews24 reported cumulative visits passed about 900,000 on Oct. 31. An Instagram reel hit 3.3 million views.

  4. What a solo service ran into: server bills and crashes

    Popularity turned straight into server costs. A donation QR code for "offering rice," added at users' request, was knocked offline within an hour on the night of Oct. 30. The money goes to the developer for servers, not to a real temple. On Oct. 31 Park apologized for lag and disconnects, shrank the walkable area by 74% and said he would focus on the basics over the weekend. The same day he opened a zone outside the hall with four tracks reworking sutra chanting as jazz-funk and neo-soul, and teased an app-store release.

  5. The copycats: Myeongdong Cathedral, Gatbawi, the Camino

    According to Etoday, four days after Sansa an online cathedral modeled on Myeongdong Cathedral appeared, with prayer, rosary, candles, a confessional and a veil option. An online church and an online Gatbawi, the famous Buddha rock in Daegu, followed; Samsung Lions fans queued for 10+ minutes there before the Korean Series. There is now a 763.7 km Camino de Santiago walked at real pace, a sauna, fishing spots, a solo bar, a study hall, a coal mine and a fish-bread alley. A pet memorial site hosted 16,921 memorials as of Nov. 4. All share the same idea: being in one space together, with no chat.

  6. Why it worked: "108 bows lying in my room"

    Users praise the simplicity and quiet. Reviews include "So calm and nice," "I do 108 bows lying in my room and feel healed," and "I drop in several times a day to practice." Some say they are Protestant or Catholic and come for the peace. Seoul National University religious studies professor Sung Hae-young told Segye Ilbo that Buddhism resonates with young people because it acknowledges suffering and lets each person find a way through, and told Etoday that people who want a sacred atmosphere but find blind faith a burden seek anonymous online spaces.

  7. Doubts: a passing fad, and will it stay silent?

    Much is unknown. Hankyung Business said it remains to be seen whether this is a passing craze. Server costs for hundreds of thousands of daily visitors rest on donations to one person, and dozens of look-alikes are splitting attention. According to Cheonji Ilbo, Park plans to add sutra reading and chat based on user feedback, which could change the "sit together without words" character that made it work.
