It's not my job to correct every misconception that people have. This is one major misconception I wanted to clarify. If people still have wrong numbers after that fact ... good luck to them

OK I've bought enough shares my risk appetite is exceeded, so I'm happy to share my analysis now. Basically the main thing to understand is that the UFL Elect Project numbers are currently tracking 'ballots cast' which is not what this market is about. This market is about 'votes for President', which is what the resolution source (USElectionAtlas) tracks. Something like 0.8% of all ballots cast do not include a vote for President. So if you think the Elect Project numbers are mostly accurate, which I do, you end up getting around 0.992 * 155,800,000 or 154.6M votes, which is funnily enough very close to what I estimate. I think this confusion between 'ballots' and 'votes for President' is the main reason this market has been so mispriced and there's been so much confusion in the comment section. If anyone has mistakenly bought YES on 155-160M based on this misapprehension, it's probably a good idea to sell now before other people realise it too. Happy hunting! :)

Does anyone have any idea why Bloomberg gets more votes for candidates than other sites? IF it was a mistake, he should have corrected it already.

Ive had at least 3 comments deleted when I mentioned there's nothing (at least that can we see) backing the 150-55 Y apart from Rabs holding most of that liquidity... Why is that?

Deleted the post as some folks seem to know who 'rabs' is, and speculation seems counterproductive if that's the case.
