I read that Gore had conceded then took it back when things were close. Could the lady who conceded (I can't remember her name or state) withdraw her concession? I think she made a mistake. I think she could have forced a run off.

The votes decide. Case in point: Doesn't matter if Trump concedes or not.

Had Collins gotten less than 50 percent of the vote they would have invoked rank choice voting. Since Collins has over 51 percent it did not apply.
