3 prediction markets price this story:

• Alaska — the market puts it at 65%, with $8 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 3 Nov 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the winner of the 2026 U.S. Senate election in Alaska wins by a margin of 5 percentage points or less. The outcome depends strictly on the final certified vote count for that specific race. Readers often mistake this for any general election result in Alaska rather than just the Senate contest.
• Democrats win Governor & Senate; Republican wins House — the market puts it at 57%, with $17 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 3 Nov 2027. The outcome is Yes if a Republican wins Alaska’s U.S. House seat, while Democrats win both the Governor and U.S. Senate races in the November 3, 2026 election. The result depends on the final winners after ranked-choice tabulation. Readers often mistake early polls or intermediate results for the official resolution.
• Alaska — the market puts it at 5%, closing 3 Nov 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Democrats lose every specified Senate race except Alaska's, where a Democrat must win. It resolves to No if any other combination of results occurs. Readers often mistake the requirement for Democratic wins in the other states as a condition for Yes, when those races actually require non-Democrat winners.
