This should resolve to NO. DNC has officially nominated Harris.

@BruceGrugett Resolves NO, thank you!

Hey, what is going on here!! This is my market. How can someone else resolve it? And secondly, the DNC hasen't even started yet, how do you know what is going to happen???? This is very wrong for two reasons.

Moderators can resolve markets if the outcome is known and the creator is inactive. This early resolution seems to be a mistake so I've unresolved the market. @jacksonpolack, please be more careful next time.

@SG Hmm, this is an odd situation! The reason I resolved it was the convention delegates have officially chosen the nominee,

And all of the other dem nomination markets have resolved, including ones with description language like:

Resolves to whoever is selected as the United States Democratic Party nominee for President at the 2024 Democratic National Convention

that one was the official politics market

That second market's language looked to me to be the same as the 'at the DNC', which is why I was okay resolving this, given the creator appeared inactive.

The thing I missed was the market creation date, which implies this is about remaining uncertainty after the politics market resolved, so the resolution was wrong, which is something to be more careful about. But if this market had been created a few months ago, I'm not sure what rule would've led me to realize the resolution was incorrect, which is a funny situation.

Gotcha, good explanation!
