Will the Republican Party win the MD-02 House seat?

This market displays extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume despite $17,683 in open interest, suggesting the 7¢ price may not reflect genuine market consensus but rather stale positioning. The 2,425.6% implied yield on the "Yes" side is extraordinarily high and mathematically unsustainable, indicating the market is severely mispriced or facing structural issues—MD-02 is a heavily Democratic district (Cook PVI D+28), making a Republican win genuinely unlikely but not at 7% odds. With 200 days to expiry and a 2¢ spread, this appears to be a dead market where the extreme yield reflects illiquidity risk rather than true probability, warranting caution for any trade execution.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the MD-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/).
