I happened to read a blog post that referred to a 2018 paper in The Annals of Applied Statistics with the title Statistical Paradises and Paradoxes in Big Data: Law of Large Populations, Big Data Paradox, and the 2016 Presidential Election. The 2016 election was used since there is a lot of publicly accessible data ("big data"), this is not any sort of political analysis. It does, however, point to why the election was a surprise, in the sense of differing from almost all the polls made before election day.
