Analysis
This market shows extreme mispricing with a 2424.5% implied yield on the Yes side, suggesting Republicans have virtually no chance in this heavily Democratic Massachusetts district—a reasonable assessment given MA-02's historical voting patterns. The zero 24-hour volume combined with $20k open interest and a wide 2¢ spread indicates severe illiquidity, making the 7¢ price potentially unreliable and vulnerable to manipulation by small trades. With 200 days to expiry and a cliff risk index of 13, this appears to be a speculative position rather than an active market, warranting caution for any trader considering entry.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the MA-02 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 4, 2026. A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
