No, the election results are the determining factor. Concession just shows class after you know you got handed your head.

Ah, I see, So the loser just gets a nasty surprise.
"Sir, please take off that victory sash. It appears that you've lost the election by 7 votes."
And I believe we've seen a couple concessions taken back this time based on new counts.
I think it was Florida between Scott who has claimed victory and Perry? who conceded. And a few others the final count showed different results. I'm wondering if these will go to the courts,

I don’t think conceding is anything formal or legally binding, just an informal acknowledgement and suggestion they’re not going to be calling for recounts or anything of the sort. I suspect the “winner” isn’t actually official under whoever is responsible for running the election officially declares them so; that official could declare for the looser or say the vote is void (though they’d obviously be in a lot of trouble if they didn’t have a valid and legal reason for doing so) and nothing is really final until they winning candidate sworn in.
