summary: "Jefferies estimates that 13.3 GW of announced data center projects in Texas could be at risk if Democrat Gina Hinojosa wins the governor's race, as she has called for a broader moratorium on new capacity to manage the state's electrical grid. Early election returns show Hinojosa leading with 58.3% of the vote to Greg Abbott's 40.5% with approximately 23% of ballots counted, causing Nasdaq futures to drop as investors weighed the impact of a potential halt on power-intensive builds."
