If neither candidate gets a majority in either Maine or Alaska, the ranked choice voting goes into effect. Will this happen? In the event of a court challenge, this market will reflect the final decision that the courts come to.

I will bet in this market. If there is a conflict regarding the resolution of this market, I will turn it over to a council of moderators.

this is really unclear, tbh. Does it resolve YES if no party gets outright 50%+ in either state? Or does it resolve YES if no party gets 50%+ AND adding the votes from the third candidate flips the order of the first two?

Alaska and Maine-2 only barely gave Trump a majority in the last two elections. And Maine-AL had no majority in 2016. In 2024 it depends on how strong the third-party showing is.
