Resolution

I will compare the percentage point difference between the probability of Kamala winning the election in the two models.

At the time of question creation, Nate Silver has Harris at 56.3%, and 538 has Harris winning 58.8% (i.e. 588 out of 1000 simulations), for a difference of 2.5% (percentage points).

This market resolves YES if the difference >7 percentage points at any point before the election.

Context

The models are currently quite close, but fairly recently they sharply disagreed (largely due to Nate's "convention bounce" effect). E.g. on August 29th, 538 had Kamala at ~58% while Nate had her at ~47%.

@traders AFAIK they haven't diverged by >7% since question creation at any point, so once Nate's model does its final update (which i doubt will move it much) i expect this to resolve NO. but LMK if I missed any days.
