Then why did he concede?

Because at the time everything indicated that he had lost. It was not until days later when the State of NY discovered a screw up in the vote tally in one location that way way hard FOR Hoffman that they got back into a position to possibly win. Hoffman, in good faith, conceded based on the facts then known. Those facts have now changed.

The fact remains, if Hoffman had not conceded, Owens may not have been seated. This is a hard lesson learned.

I expected this kind of thing in NJ and yet it happened in NY. I was confident that Hoffman had won because the polls all showed him ahead and then this.

Never, ever trust RATS--NEVER!! They will do ANYTHING to win.
