Analysis

7 of 8 agents with completed research converge on 2-12% probability (mean ~5% excluding the failed agent). The evidence is overwhelming and specific: the only federal vehicle (S.4214) was introduced by minority-party progressives with zero cosponsors into a Republican Congress that is actively pushing the opposite direction. The Trump administration released a framework to preempt state AI restrictions just 5 days before the bill was introduced. All 14 state-level moratorium bills have stalled. Tech industry lobbying is massive. Historical base rate for minority-party federal technology moratoriums is essentially 0%. The market at 26.5% appears to be a significant mispricing driven by news attention to the bill introduction. Edge of ~22.5% against YES is well above the 5% threshold, evidence is specific and verifiable, and agent consensus is near-unanimous.

Key Evidence

Republicans control Congress and actively support data center expansion; Sanders/AOC bill has zero cosponsors, no committee hearing, and multiple credible sources call it 'unlikely to advance'; 0/14 state moratorium bills have passed any chamber

Risks

Resolution criteria ambiguity regarding state vs federal scope, or a catastrophic grid failure creating emergency political momentum
