Kalshi
The event tracks how much voters in a specific district prefer certain candidates over their nearest rivals during a primary election. It examines the difference in vote share between each candidate and the runner-up, categorizing outcomes into percentage ranges. The focus is on measuring competitive dynamics rather than final election results.
The event resolves based on the margin of victory for specified candidates in the 2026 MI-13 Democratic primary. The margin is calculated as the difference in vote share between a candidate and the next highest vote-getter, with positive values indicating a win, negative values a loss, and zero a tie for first place. Each market corresponds to a specific candidate and a defined percentage range for this margin, from 0% to over 15%. All ranges are inclusive of their lower bound and exclusive of their upper bound, with no rounding applied to the final margin percentage. If a candidate participates under multiple party affiliations or listings, all votes for that individual are aggregated. The outcome for each market is determined by whether the calculated margin falls within the specified range for that candidate.
