Kalshi election markets face state pushback and felony warning for voters
Reality Check with Ross Coulthart
Could Kalshi's new election hub influence midterm results?
What was said
"Kalshi is fighting states over whether some of its contract amount to illegal gambling. A Washington judge just ordered the platform blocked in that particular state, joining court actions in New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Nevada."
A NewsNation guest described a growing legal backlash against Kalshi’s election prediction markets, saying a Washington judge has ordered the platform blocked in that state and that similar actions are under way in New York, Massachusetts, Michigan and Nevada. The guest also said the Wisconsin Elections Commission has warned voters they could face felony charges for betting on an election in which they also cast a ballot, and noted Kalshi has suspended three congressional candidates for trading on their own races.
