Comment Text:
Having spent many years as a public policy advocate, I have seen firsthand the importance of transparent and accurate data in shaping effective policy decisions. Election contracts will and would offer a valuable source of predictive data that informs policy analysis and decision-making.
I strongly oppose the proposed restrictions and urge the Commission to consider the broader benefits of these contracts. Extending the comment period and engaging with stakeholders would provide a more comprehensive understanding of why these markets must exist.
