Context
The Republican's implied odds currently stand at 93.5%. This market resolves on the party that wins Georgia's 8th congressional district in the U.S. House election on November 3, 2026. Party affiliation is determined by ballot listing, or by caucus intent if a candidate has no ballot‑listed party. Resolution follows a consensus of credible reporting; any ambiguity is settled by the official Federal Election Commission tally. This contract will close after the election and its outcome is confirmed. The resolution date is set for Nov 4, 2026. Between now and then, the probability can move in response to news that affects the perceived likelihood of a Republican win—such as candidate entries, polling data, or fundraising reports. Because the resolution source is finally the FEC, any changes in the electoral landscape feed into the price.
