>>Lots of things "could" be the case. In that election, there were several key elections that were very narrow wins for Trump that could have easily gone the other way. In all of those cases, the final results were within the margin of error of the polls. The polls weren't wrong.

There were a couple of squeakers as there are in almost every presidential election. On both sides.

Some were within the MoE, which was as-designed by the Trump administration. The entire strategy of the Trump campaign was to win districts that were exceptionally close and could change the election outcome. That is a cost effective campaign and the reason Trump could operate with a fraction of the budget.

How you try to turn that into a negative I just don’t know. The guy who runs a campaign with that efficiency sounds like a winner to me.
