This market resolves to YES or NO as per the 2026 State of AI Report's self grading of its prediction #9: Datacenter NIMBYism takes the US by storm and sways certain midterm/gubernatorial elections in 2026.
If they do not issue a ruling by EOY 2026, I will resolve by asking Anthropic's best model to evaluate based on their exact wording.
