What an interesting reason to void the market. Should we not have waited and voided this market if, in the incredibly unlikely event, neither one wins. I can not find any reference material on a presidential election in which one of the two major opponents didn't win. For this question to be asked with an "other" option we would had to start the other at 1%, and based on it never happening before 1% is ridiculously too high. 1% means that it will occur once every 100 times. If we use this standard for voiding questions then doesn't every single sports question need to written now to include an "other" option?
