Clearly a lucrative tax source, why are data centers facing backlash from American voters?
Out of 47 ballot measures nationwide in the United States, 46 passed, with voters restricting or banning data center construction in their communities. As immovable assets, data centers should inherently be a lucrative tax source: Loudoun County can collect 26 USD in taxes for every 1 USD of services consumed, while the town of Harwood rejected a restriction measure by a 3:1 margin.
Evidence shows that 46 out of 47 voting measures across the United States passed.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Data centers can bring tax revenue, but they may also trigger community opposition to construction. The voting results and local cases mentioned in the article have not yet provided original records.
Why it matters to readers
If the restrictions are confirmed, data center developers may face a more complex approval and site selection environment; however, the evidence does not provide the actual scale of impact.
This shows that data center construction depends not only on technology and funding, but may also be influenced by local voters' ballots.
