Comment Text:
The argument that election markets could influence voting behavior is speculative and unsupported by evidence. Voters are influenced by numerous factors, and market predictions are just one source of information among many. If anything, these markets might encourage higher voter turnout by highlighting close races. The CFTC should base its decisions on empirical evidence, not hypothetical concerns. Vote no on this rule or, at the least, provide more time for industry and stakeholders to weigh in on this.
