俄亥俄州帕塔斯卡拉——在中期选举活动的最后几周，政治标语正在这座人口为18,500的城市的前草坪上冒出。最常见的标语既不支持任何候选人也不支持任何政党。它写道：投票支持禁止数据中心。
PATASKALA, Ohio—In the midterm campaign’s final weeks, political signs are sprouting on front lawns across this city of 18,500. The most common one supports neither a candidate nor a party. It reads: VOTE YES TO BAN DATA CENTERS.
尽管反对数据中心的声音在全国范围内众所周知，但俄亥俄州和密歇根州的摇摆州可能成为检验一个在中期选举中流传的问题的试验场：选民会因数据中心而惩罚政治家吗？
While pushback against data centers is well-known nationwide, battlegrounds across Ohio and Michigan might become a test case for a question swirling around the midterms: Will voters punish politicians over them?
