grasping at straws

I know that Kerry has conceded...but does this concession have the force of law? That is: if (due to legal challenges, counting of absentee/provisional ballots, etc.) enough electoral votes flip to Kerry, does he still win the election?

I think they stop counting. I don't see any reason to expect legal challenges this time.

My understanding is that the count is continuing to proceed (bureaucratic inertia, if nothing else, would encourage this). The question is whether the count will be allowed to override the concession if appropriate.
