Do they still continue to count ballots after one of the candidates concedes to the other? What happens if someone concedes and then it's found out that he had the votes needed to win?

As I understand it, the US election is won by winning areas and then counting up how many wins each person got. Give or take. It's not all that important to the question.

Does anyone know if/when the actual voter figures will be released? I'd love to compare this system to a true winner-takes-all system...
