Wouldn't it be prudent for them to ask for 11 fabs in 11 states, and get 11x more politicians lobbying for them?

Maybe they like the laws in Texas more, alot companies have been moving to Texas for that reason. Although that is conjecture. Also having them geographically close has perks for logistics.

I hope they are bringing their own power grid along with those fab plans. Power bumps and brownouts are terrible for fabs.

Next to the $B that is a modern fab, running an electrical generation station is a minor investment. I also wouldn't be surprised it Samsung has a division which builds power plants, given that in SK they build apartment buildings and air conditioners.

They won't plan to build 11. There's years between approval and earth being turned on the couple they do decide to build.
