Each row is a Polymarket winner market on this seat: the outcome priced highest 30 days, 7 days and one day before Election Day, and the eventual winner's price at the same moments. The 2026 readings are taken on 4 October, 27 October and 2 November as the days arrive.
Prices are Polymarket's daily closing prices from its public price history, read at the last close before each checkpoint; outcomes that traded less than $1,000 over their life are left out, and a new market's opening 50% placeholder is not counted as a price.
2022: Polymarket priced this seat in “Governor: Will a Democrat (Kelly) or Republican (Schmidt) win in Kansas?”, which resolved Democrat on $42.5K traded. It ran on Polymarket's earlier automated market maker, whose prices the public price history does not include, so it carries a result and no checkpoints.
