Total of all 3rd party and write in votes in 2024 must be >2.00% to resolve yes. Any Vote that isn't for Harris or Trump is counted.

In 2020 it was 1.96%

in 2016 it was 6.05%

Resolves to data published by https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/ once finalized. Will resolve 3 days after the final state has certified (mid December).

Back up resolution: https://www.congress.gov/

Will resolve the same as https://polymarket.com/event/will-2-of-votes-go-to-3rd-party-candidates-in-us-election?tid=1732070283517

this market resolves to two different things…uselectionatlas.org and polymarket (which says it reconciles to the same)…which takes priority, in case polymarket acts differently?

@PGeyer It will resolve to the resolution source, but since Polymarket is using the same resolution criteria, they will also resolve the same. Both are true.

@HillaryClinton Thank you. No rounding, right? 1.9999998% is a No, correct?

bought Ṁ5 NO

>"Any Vote that isn't for Harris or Trump is counted."
Does that mean spoilt ballots count?

@ChristopherRandles any vote that is in the resolution source counts. No, blank votes do not count. Write ins do however.

@HillaryClinton Thanks for the answer. It would seem that you are saying a blank vote is not a vote whereas a write in is a valid vote even if the person named does not want to be president. (That is what I expected for those possibilities.)

Less clear to me was "None of these candidates" or writing in anything else that is not a name. Are these votes? The alternative being treated as invalid and not a vote? The resolution source lists 'None of these candidates' as 19625 so I that it these are counted as votes. I don't see a category listed for invalid so I presume the resolution source is excluding the write in of something other than a name as invalid and not votes and that so will this market.

1.966% at this moment, and priced at over 80% probability by the money

bought Ṁ50 YES

FYI folks Polymarket has this well over 50% currently

bought Ṁ10 NO at 48%

@JamesBaker3 It’ll be close but just under—I may be wrong!

"once finalized" means the resolution will be pushed out until states certify their results, right?

@JamesBaker3 Yes, once the states certify their final vote. Around mid december.

bought Ṁ250 YES

@HillaryClinton polymarket is using Dec 17th, though it's not clear what fraction of write-ins (from county-level sources in some states) will have been incorporated by Dave Leip on that date.

@JamesBaker3 I will resolve them the same way. The purpose of this market is to see what the price would be without whale manipulation.
