Data Centres Are Turning Trump Voters into Democrats
Original: Data Centers Are Turning Trump Voters into Democrats
The Economist reports that the boom in data centre construction across the United States is shifting rural, traditionally Republican communities toward the Democratic Party. Locals reportedly resent the noise, power demand and water use of massive server campuses, and blame Republican officials for approving them. The piece suggests this backlash is turning some Trump voters into Democratic voters in affected areas.
Why now: Data centre expansion is a hot political issue in US communities facing its local costs ahead of elections.
