I don't think "There will be a faux-election but it will be neither free nor fair and results therefore illegitimate" should be an objection - how will that be adjudicated? It also overlaps with other options - e.g. there could be a faux election with JD Vance elected

@ToSummarise Yeah, my interpretation of this market was "who will be elected, even if it's not fair"

probably me but unfortunately Tetra seems to have forgotten to add me. Sad!

There's a bug that prevents me from buying Mike Pence or lower probability names. Also just above this threshold, 1 mana on Glenn Youngkin spikes the odds to 3%, yet e.g. Shawn Fain requires 18 mana to reach 1.0%. What the heck is going on?

@Pepe the odds are apparently so low for those because no one bought them. If you do, you raise the odds. Doesn't seem to be wrong

How does it resolve if the election winner is different than the person who effectively becomes the president? (E.g. the election outcome is disputed, there's an inssurection and the election loser takes power.)

bought αΉ€10 No 2028 Election YES

@SimoneRomeo I think this should be decided based upon the official results in the Electoral College.

I do not believe that there should be any criteria that the election results be fair.

@SteveSokolowski makes sense to me, just wanted to clarify as there are going to be disputes

bought αΉ€10 Donald Trump YES

@SimoneRomeo I don't believe there will be any dispute in the result, actually. I've sold all of my Democratic candidates in these markets this morning.

Well there be an election in 2028?

@Iamczecksy Almost certainly. I have little doubt it will be at least as fair as the elections done by Trump's BFF over in Russia.

@Iamczecksy What do you think?

Warning: If your answer is unrealistic, then you'll likely be challenged to a bet.

It depends on the livelihood of American during the current administration. If things get worse the Republicans will be blamed if better then another 4 years. The Dems have already made a lot of mistakes they'll need new faces and new messaging. Economic solutions benefiting the less wealthy will be more popular than identity politics in 2028.

@ShakedKoplewitz @Tetra @mods this is a duplicate - is there a way to merge the duplicates, or remove one of them?

sold αΉ€16 Answer #n6O6RNuA8C YES

@AnonUser I have deleted the newer one

@Tetraspace mine was the original one. You deleted the older one

@LeeBressler Nope. As the top of this thread says "Lee Breasler answered 19d" [ago] , while it you try to comment on the other one, it says "ShakedKoplewitz answered 1mo" [ago], so you were second. I think what happened is that a correctly-splled answer was already there, then you added an incorrectly spelled one, then (per the other thread) your misspelling was corrected, turning your answer into an exact duplicate...

What is the case for Other? Surely one of the 60 other options will end up being the democratic nominee.

@HamzaThange The market for Democratic nominee has 100 options, and Other is still at 20%. I think people are just very low confidence on who the Democrats will end up nominating.

@LeeBressler Petition to replace this with Ritchie Torres to avoid arguments later, assuming that's what question creator meant.

@Kraalnaxx yes good catch my bad

@Kraalnaxx @Manifold how do we fix the spelling (should be Ritchie, not Richie)? It doesn’t seem like I can update it even though I added the answer.

@LeeBressler I fixed it, thanks for the heads up!

How does this resolve if there isn't a fair election?

@KevinBurke No 2028 Election

@KevinBurke If there is an unfair election, it resolves to the election winner
