Question was edited which changed conditions of question.
This question was published which asked about CNN making a prediction on the Ohio. A time was given as 10pm. There was no time zone indicated, so I asked for varification on time zone. Assuming all time zones unless otherwise stated are PST. I was told PST was time zone, so I wagered money on this question, then noticed the question kept getting edited more to cause confusion. Then this morning the question is edited to read EST, this is a 3 hour difference in time and greatly impacts the outcome of this question. Can we please get the question voided. I agree it is a good question, but people need to wager on a question with a certain set of circumstances and feel comfortable that thier question isn't going to change dramatically. I might still wager on the question but not to the points I did with the original terms of the question.
I hope this can lead to a distinct policy that questions in which editing requires changing potential results will be voided and re-submitted.

Inappropriate?Hi destry,
Seeing as the market already has many bets on it, I'm going to keep the market open. But if the result of this question occurs in the 3 hours time difference (i.e. 3pm EST to 3pm PST) then we will void it. Otherwise it will be settled according to what happens.

Inappropriate?Hey Ryan,
So there is a great chance that if this contest is decided between 10:01 pm EST and 1:00 am EST (10pm PST), then the question will be voided and my money which is tied up until then will be returned. I bet on this question because I felt there was no way CNN would take til 10pm PST. I wagered 9000k. I would not have wagered this amount if question would have stated 10pm EST. I asked for clarification and was told PST would be used, then that changed AFTER I wagered my money.
Why can't we simply void original question, start new question with the terms that the question has now, and moves peoples wagers that choose to wager on this question with the NEW terms. I do not want 9000k tied up until this with a good possibility of the money just being voided.
Shouldn't we void questions in general that have a likelihood of becoming voided. If a question can't be settled and we know it in advance then void.
