NE02, final. Bacon 51, Eastman 42 A good result for Republicans, though not a huge surprise in a lean Rep. district. Still, this could have been a top race and it doesn't look like one.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/upshot/elections-poll-ne02-1.html …

Huh? That's not how it works. Close, closer and closest all have legitimate uses in this context. Even races that are "within the margin of error*" can still be compared. * this phrase is more widely misapplied imho

Sampling error reduces our ability to make more than rough comparisons across races. You can't just treat it like an asterisk that's appended to a statement like "this is the closest race so far!" to make it acceptable.
