People vote for a candidate. Each state has a given number of electoral votes. Win the state, get the votes from that state. Get more votes than your opponent, and you have been elected.
It depends on how many votes the other candidate is getting. If you were a candidate running for president, and if your opponent had 74 votes, you'd have to get more than that to win the election. If he got 98, you have to get more than 98 to win.
Opponent
No, a candidate cannot win after conceding. Conceding is a formal acknowledgment of defeat in an election. Once a candidate concedes, they are essentially admitting that they have lost and are no longer actively seeking to win.
The candidate tried to discredit his opponent.
In the context of an election, the term "flip" refers to a shift in voting patterns or outcomes, typically when a candidate or party that was previously behind in the polls or results overtakes their opponent to win.

Depends on how you won. If you checked your opponent's king and he cannot block the check, capture the checking piece, or move his king away, you win by checkmate. If your opponent tips his king over and says "I resign" You win by resignation. If your opponent runs out of time in his/her clock, you win by time. If your opponent is 30+min. late, you win by "no-show".
You kill your opponent more times than your opponent kills you. This can usually be achieved by aiming at your opponent and firing your weapon.
A third party candidate might win presidency because in this system, rather than voting for one and only one candidate, you can vote for as many candidates as you want.
