I believe my 'one vote' lists; National, by State, and Other; to be the most comprehensive listing on the internet.
Actually it is not just 1 vote but is 1 vote over or shy of a majority, or 'super-majority'. Any one voter of the victory tally had the power to sway the victory to a tie or the opposition. One vote is victory among many when the many have the majority. - Roger W Hancock.
I have included where one vote each over several precincts could have made a difference.

"A nation is only an individual multiplied." - Mark Twain, "The Turning-Point of My Life" Power of one vote.
