My guess is that the concession speech would have no validity whatsoever. It is simply a ritual that the two contestants have mutually agreed on from who knows back when. Once an election is over the loser is to graciously "concede" to the truth of the results (whether he does or not is immaterial.) I had the same question. Glad you posted, Rapaire.
