I believe Hoffman seceded to Owens. I guess they can count until eternity but it is over.

Concession doesn’t matter. Votes do.
Concession is a formality and a nice way to bow out, but if for some weird reason the person conceding wins, the presumed victor becomes the loser.
They don’t win just because the other guy conceded.

What if it is shown that Hoffman conceded based on a lie? What if we find that it wasn't human error that led Hoffman to believe that he lost, but intentional confusion designed to elicit a premature response?
Would it still be over in that case? If so, what's to stop all future elections managed by Democrats to have confusing announcements in close races?
