When they are all added up, BIDEN and TRUMP will cash out based on how many votes each gets. You seem to think that, for HSX purposes, Congress has to certify the election results, which is not true. Once the final tally is announced, they'll cash out. Stop confusing the real-life election process with HSX's game process.

Investors need to be warned that their presidential options money will be tied up for two months longer than they may naively expect! (nm) Patient Player Aug 20, 23:10

THis is fake money, so unless we have a repeat of the 2000 election, this will not be an issue. ndmaster Aug 24, 11:15

AND re-read the descriptions of BIDEN and TRUMP! Their cashout values depend on _electoral votes_, not who wins! (nm) Patient Player Aug 28, 22:31

Perhaps you didn't catch that the legal challenges this time could be much, much worse than 2000. Patient Player Aug 24, 23:31

Legal challenges will only occur if it is close like in 2000 ndmaster Aug 25, 22:44

You seem to keep thinking that BIDEN and TRUMP are about win/lose. They're not. (nm) Patient Player Aug 28, 22:38

"Once the final tally ..." Just when do you think the tally will be final if Trump files a dozen legal challenges? {nm} Patient Player Sep 01, 20:47
