Question: once a candidate concedes, the opponent wins even though the opponent finally gets less number of votes?.

You mean like Algore in 2000?
Concessions can be retracted.

No, a concession is simply a way to make nice to your opponent. It does not alter the final outcome.

The eventual winner is determined by whom is certified as the winner by the top state elections official (usually the Secrertary of State). And that will be the person who drew the most approved votes.

Didn't Algor concede over the phone to GWB late election night of 2000, and then retract it?
