4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices Democrats at 98% to win North Carolina's 2nd House seat, the market treats this as effectively settled.
$11K in 24h equals 64% of all-time contract volume, the single dominant session in the contract's history.
NC-02 is a Democratic-leaning district; concentrated late volume at 98% likely reflects settlement arbitrage or cleanup flow.
Contract resolves on the November 2026 NC-02 House general election.
