Many voters in Ohio say their frustration over rising electricity and fuel prices and the growth of data centers will not affect whom they vote for, according to a report by The New York Times. Reporters Rebecca F. Elliott and Maddie McGarvey wrote the article, which is titled Why Anger About Data Centers and Energy Prices May Not Swing Votes.

According to the summary of that report, the anger centers on increases in the cost of electricity and fuel and on the expansion of data centers in the state. The summary does not say how many voters were asked or how they were chosen.

The Times presented the question as whether that anger could shift the outcome of the election. Its summary indicates that many of the voters it covered do not expect it to do so. The summary does not address whether similar views are held by voters in other states.

The Continental Gazette has not reviewed the full article, so specific figures and any direct quotations from voters are not included here and should be checked against the original Times report.
