And possible areas for research perhaps.

There 34 Senate seats up for election. Were only 8 "Hotly contested" - what is the criteria?

How many of the "Not Hot" races fell outside the MOE?

Historically, are "Hot" races more or less likely to fall outside polling MOE? If there is a significant difference can it be explained by voter behavior?

Historically, are MOE anomalies more likely to take place where the prevailing party has greater control over the election process?

Were there MOE anomalies favoring the Republicans in House races in the same states?

Have the number of MOE anomalies changed over time?
