“I found it too late to get in on the actual Biden or Trump win.”

i don’t think it is ... they don’t close any of the markets until they’ve decided the outcome and the payout ...

HOWEVER, i JUST got this email from predicit.org a few minutes ago:

We are expecting very heavy trading during the Nov. 3 election period.

PredictIt is continually updating and improving the site to enhance your trading experience. We’ve made upgrades over the past year in an effort to improve the speed at which trades are processed during peak periods.

Nonetheless, while we continue to make adjustments to handle the expected increase in traffic, here are some things that you need to know to help you plan accordingly for this upcoming period:

Offers are processed in the order in which they are received. This means that an offer you submit when a certain price is showing may not be filled at that price (or at all) because of all the offers already submitted ahead of yours. Do not resubmit offers that are already in process.
When trading volume on a particular market is especially heavy, we may post a notice at the top of market pages advising you to expect longer than normal processing times.
PredictIt may suspend trading in some markets earlier than expected when necessary to maintain the integrity/functionality of the site.
Your patience throughout this period will be greatly appreciated.

Also, an important reminder to all PredictIt users: Bot trading and automatically scraping data from the site not only can cause a slowdown for all users, but also violate the Terms of Service. This can result in immediate suspension of your account.

Finally, trading will suspend for regularly scheduled nightly maintenance from 4 a.m. to 5 a.m. ET. Please plan accordingly.

We hope this information is helpful. As always, if you have any questions, please contact support@predictit.org.

Thank you,

PredictIt Support
