Why are folks getting all worked up about someone conceding (or not conceding) an election? Conceding doesn't mean if the numbers change to your favor (because of fraud or cheating) you still wouldn't win the election, would it? It seems to me that conceding (or not) is irrelevant.

I think that conceding is a legal issue. If you concede and then you want to dispute the election, the judge will say you already conceded so its "MOOT."
I could be wrong. I am not an attorney. But that was my understanding. It's best to not concede if you think you may plan to dispute. It can never be used against you if you didn't concede. If you do concede it might come back to bite you. With our legal system, I am quite certain they would bite.
Yes. See Ritter v. Migliori.
