How this market settles

If Democrats win ALL of the 2026 U.S. House elections in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, AND Vermont, AND ALL of the 2026 U.S. Senate elections in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, AND Rhode Island, then the market resolves to Yes. This market requires ALL specified candidates/parties/options to win their respective elections for a Yes resolution. If even one loses, the entire market resolves to No. A Democratic candidate is a candidate listed with the Democratic Party label on the general election ballot, including a candidate who is also listed with another party's label. Any other winner, including an independent, is a candidate other than a Democrat. In Maine, the winner of each federal race is the candidate declared elected after any ranked-choice tabulation. Postponed elections remain open until rescheduled or two years from original date. Annulled elections remain open until re-run. In case of ties, the winner through the jurisdiction's tiebreak mechanism prevails. This market is eligible for accelerated determination two days after a consensus of media organizations project the winner. The full rules provide further details.

What could still go wrong

  • The exact number of House seats per state in 2026 is not specified — district counts could change due to reapportionment or redistricting
  • Vermont's sole House seat is currently held by an independent (Bernie Sanders-aligned); if a similar independent wins under a Democratic label cross-listing, resolution could be disputed
  • Maine uses ranked-choice voting, adding complexity to determining the Democratic winner
  • Accelerated determination relies on 'consensus of media organizations' which is subjective and undefined
  • The definition of 'Democratic Party label' for cross-endorsed candidates may cause ambiguity if a candidate appears on multiple party lines but wins primarily through a non-Democratic party line
  • No specific list of Senate races is enumerated — assumes standard 6-year cycle Class seats up in 2026 for those states, which should be verified
