Yes, it's irrational. I understand it...but it's irrational. But it's not as bad as some of the predictions that said we would gain multiple seats in the house and have 60 seats in the senate...or that Mendez would lose and the few that said Warren would.
Now THAT is irrational. :-)
Are you saying there is 0.0% chance some of the close races could not end up in the GOP side because of uncounted absentee ballots?
