Who will hold more governorships after the midterms?

(Each outcome is its own contract. This is the rule for the favourite, Democratic Party; the others read the same way with their own outcome.) If Democrats hold more governorships than Republicans after the 2026 midterm elections, the market resolves to Yes. For the purposes of this Contract, the total number of governorships held by a party is calculated by counting (i) uncontested governorships (those without a scheduled election in 2026) plus (ii) contested governorships won by that party's candidate as determined under the resolution criteria of the ELECTION contract, including the accelerated provision.
