Turns on how 'otherwise identifiable affiliation' and 'recently expressed intent to caucus' determine party for independent-listed candidates without balloted major-party affiliation.

Resolution rules (verbatim)
This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the CA-49 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 3, 2026.
A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources.
This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
Vague language on what constitutes 'identifiable affiliation' (public statements? prior registration?) and what counts as 'expressed intent' to caucus; timing is 'at resolution time' but candidate could shift positions.
