Inefficient market? These markets are small enough ($6 million) that somebody who is slow at reading the news can wake up, notice what’s happening and change pricing with a single bet.
Troy Jackson has enough pledged delegates to become the Democratic nominee for the Senate in Maine.
In polling prior to a rape allegation being lodged against Platner, Jackson polled better against Susan Collins than Platner did – leading Collins, rather than running behind. Jackson has repeatedly won elections in Maine, unlike Platner.
Jackson is a progressive along the lines of Bernie Sanders and AOC. He may be able to heal the Democtrats’ progressive/centrist split, in Maine at least. That would help with campaigning and turnout.
