U.S. Election & Infrastructure Intelligence, State by State
Independent research on the 2026 midterm elections through an infrastructure-planning lens: who is running, what backs them, what polling exists, and what each candidate has verifiably said or done on AI, data centers, electricity, grid costs, water, permitting, defense technology, and industrial development. Each state publishes as its research baseline is verified, then refreshes daily.

Alabama 2026: an open governor's race with a direct AI data-center policy divide
The two nominees for the open governor's office have taken opposing, verified positions on hyperscale data-center development — a substantive planning divide, not a partisan proxy.
Tommy Tuberville (R nominee)
Accelerate with guidelines
Confirmed support for hyperscale data-center growth as an economic-development path; rejects a statewide pause.
Doug Jones (D nominee)
Pause, then regulate
Confirmed proposal for a one-year moratorium on new AI data centers until statewide guardrails are adopted.

Presidential candidate dossiers, state and district exposure, agency implications, federal AI policy, energy policy, and industrial strategy will be added in a later phase. Presidential research is intentionally outside the current state checkpoints.
What every state page tracks
The same structure in all 50 states, so pages stay comparable.
Races and candidates
Governor, U.S. Senate, and every U.S. House district, plus state contests with direct infrastructure authority. Fields, nominees, ballot status, and calendar anomalies such as special primaries.
Verified policy positions
Positions on AI and data centers, electricity and grid-cost allocation, water use, permitting, land use, defense technology, and industrial incentives — each labeled with its evidence tier and confidence.
Backing and endorsements
Endorsements, party and organizational alignment, and finance signals from FEC and state filings. A donor is never described as an endorsement unless the endorsement is separately documented.
Polling availability
Public polling with pollster, sponsor, dates, sample, method, and margin of error. No numeric average is shown when no qualifying public polls exist; internal campaign polls are labeled.
Infrastructure exposure
How each race intersects with data-center clusters, utility territories, transmission, water systems, ports, defense installations, and manufacturing corridors in that state.
Planning scenarios
Neutral, sourced scenario notes on the likely policy direction under each plausible outcome — written for project planning, never as a recommendation of any candidate.
Evidence hierarchy
Every stated position carries the tier of evidence behind it. Party affiliation alone is never sufficient.
Vote cast or signed executive action
Sponsored legislation
Formal platform or policy paper
Direct public statement
Repeated campaign statements
Office-role or ideological inference — always visibly labeled as inference
Unknown — displayed as “No verified position,” never inferred from party
How updates work
Baseline research
Each state ships as a complete research checkpoint: overview, race and candidate dossiers, source ledger, structured data, and open research gaps. The state page goes live when that baseline is verified.
Daily refresh
Live states refresh every day for ballot changes, new filings, endorsements, qualifying polls, and position changes. Each page and each tile on this board shows its last verified date.
Event-driven refresh
Primaries, runoffs, litigation, and ballot deadlines trigger same-day mandatory updates — for example, Alabama's four special House primaries on August 11, 2026.
Frequently asked questions
Is this voting advice or a candidate endorsement?
No. This is research for infrastructure and policy planning. Praevoium does not endorse candidates, parties, or ballot positions, and nothing here is a recommendation on how to vote. Impact ratings measure relevance to infrastructure planning, not candidate quality.
Where does the information come from?
Each state page is built from primary sources where possible: official election filings, FEC and state campaign-finance records, legislative records, candidate platforms, and direct public statements, with a source ledger maintained per state. Positions are labeled by evidence tier and confidence.
Why isn't my state live yet?
States publish in research sequence as each baseline is completed and verified. Queued states on the coverage board become linked pages when their research checkpoint lands, and then join the daily refresh cycle.
What if a candidate has no known position on an issue?
The page says “No verified position.” Positions are never inferred from party affiliation, and inferences from a candidate's office or record are always labeled as inferences.
How current is the information?
Every live state shows a last-verified date and refreshes daily, with mandatory same-day updates after primaries, runoffs, and ballot-qualification deadlines. Election details can still change quickly; always confirm dates, registration, and ballot information with official election authorities.
