How the call settles
YES if Francesca Hong receives the most votes and wins the Wisconsin Democratic primary for governor; NO if another candidate wins.

Outcome evidence
The August 11, 2026 Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial primary was won by Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, not Francesca Hong. Crowley took 39.8% to Hong's 39.4%, a margin of just over 3,200 votes with 98% of ballots counted; Kelda Roys took 7.5% and Joel Brennan 4.7%. The Associated Press called the race at 2:34 a.m. on August 12, 2026 after Hong conceded, which removed the possibility of a recount. Crowley is therefore the 2026 Democratic nominee for governor of Wisconsin. The claim as stated - that Hong would win the primary or the nomination - did not come true. Near miss is not available: PREDICTION_METHODOLOGY.md section 6 excludes categorical winner and nominee claims, and none of these frozen claims preregistered a numeric vote-share threshold.
