Gotcha risk — resolution-rule assessment

The rules clearly define that resolution depends on which party wins the CA-22 House seat in the 2026 midterms, including clear fallback logic for caucus intent if a candidate runs without a major-party ballot line. Initial resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting, which leaves some latitude to the decider to determine when reporting is conclusive, though an official backstop via the Federal Election Commission is specified if ambiguity persists. California elections often take several weeks to count and certify ballots, introducing potential timing delays between election night and final resolution.
