Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume despite $34,906 in open interest, suggesting the 8¢ price may not reflect genuine market consensus. The 2091.8% implied yield on the Yes side is extraordinarily high and likely a mispricing artifact driven by the minimal price floor, indicating minimal Democratic backing in what is presumably a Republican-leaning district. With 201 days to expiry and a neutral regime score, this appears to be a speculative position rather than an actively traded market, warranting caution on the price discovery reliability.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the PA-09 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/).
