Georgia US House District 13 (CD-13): Democratic candidate wins special election on July 28, 2026 (confirmed by Georgia Secretary of State or AP)

Partial Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 27. July 2026 · Predicted for 28. July 2026 · Based on: Ongoing Event

Probability

92%

Georgia CD-13 is one of the most Democratic congressional districts in the US (Cook PVI D+38; Fulton, Douglas and DeKalb Counties; Biden +65% in 2020). David Scott (D) held the seat since 2003. The special election fills the remainder of his term. In a district with such an extreme partisan lean, the Democratic candidate is essentially unbeatable. No specific Polymarket market; own estimate 92% based on historical election results.

Data basis for this prediction

Bolts Mag: Georgia CD-13 Nachwahl 28. Juli 2026 bestätigt (boltsmag.org, 27.07.2026)
Cook Political Report: Georgia CD-13 PVI D+38 (Referenzwert)
Biden 2020-Ergebnis CD-13: +65 % (FEC-Daten)

Verdict: Partial Hit

Am 28. Juli 2026 fand die Nachwahl statt, aber kein Kandidat erreichte die in Georgia erforderliche absolute Mehrheit (50 %+1). Laut AP und CBS Atlanta/NBC News zogen zwei Demokraten ins Stichwahl-Duell ein: Marcye Scott (ca. 47 %) und Everton Blair (ca. 37 %). Die Stichwahl ist für den 25. August 2026 angesetzt – das Ergebnis steht noch aus (Stand: 21. August 2026). Die Vorhersage, dass ein Demokrat am 28. Juli 2026 gewinnt, ist insofern nicht eingetreten, da kein Sieger an diesem Datum feststand. Da jedoch beide Finalisten Demokraten sind, wird der Sitz mit Sicherheit an einen Demokraten gehen – der Geist der Vorhersage (demokratische Hochburg bleibt demokratisch) wird erfüllt werden, aber das spezifische Datum und die direkte Entscheidung am 28. Juli waren falsch. Quellen: AP via CBS Atlanta (cbsnews.com/atlanta), NBC News (rcna588928), Georgia Secretary of State (sos.ga.gov).

Berlin state election (20 September 2026): SPD receives more than 18.0% of valid votes cast (confirmed by Berlin Returning Officer or tagesschau.de by 21 September 2026)

The SPD received exactly 18.4% in the 2023 Berlin state election and has since been in opposition. Current polls (August/September 2026) put the SPD at 19–22%, making a result above 18.0% likely. Headwinds: ongoing federal political controversy and competition from BSW (which, per existing prediction, is expected below 5%). The 18.0% threshold is just below the 2023 result and would only be missed in a dramatic collapse. No Polymarket market; Metaculus aggregate implies ~65% for SPD above 18%.

Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus election (September 20, 2026): FDP falls below 5.0% of valid votes and fails to enter the Abgeordnetenhaus (confirmed by Berlin returning officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.

Swedish Riksdag election (September 13, 2026): Liberalerna (L) falls below 4.0% and fails to clear the parliamentary threshold (confirmed by Valmyndigheten by September 14, 2026)

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.
