The outcome is Yes if Nithya Raman wins the 2026 Los Angeles mayoral election by a margin of at least 2%. The outcome is No if she loses or wins by less than 2%. Readers often mistake the linked poll results for the final election result.
• Karen Bass, ≥2% — resolved “No” on 6 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Karen Bass wins the 2026 Los Angeles mayoral election by a margin of at least 2% but less than 100%. The outcome depends solely on the official results of that specific election. Readers often mistake the linked news story about her apology for the resolution criteria, but only the final vote count matters.
• Nithya Raman — resolved “No” on 3 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Bernie Sanders publicly endorses Nithya Raman for the 2026 Los Angeles mayoral race before November 3, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked story’s mention of independence as a resolution factor, but only a public endorsement by Sanders counts.
