When surrendering doesn't matter
Technically, an election isn't over until the electoral college meets on December 13, 2004 (the Monday after the second Wednesday in December).
At that point they will vote according to the results in their home states.
Kerry may have conceded defeat, but he can still be made President.
It _is_ unlikely though.

No. I was outraged too when I found out that in the US they don't bother to count all the votes - that's why the pressure is on for one candidate to concede. But I found this out 4 years ago when the 2000 US elections were such a mess, so it's an old tired "yes, that's outrageous, but that's what happens when you stick with the beta version" outrage.
