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.

1 vote wins the Massachusetts governorship for Marcus Morton. ("Landslide" Morton) He defeated Edward Everett. Having lost the next two elections he won the governorship again in 1842 when the election was thrown into the State House. Massachusetts governor terms of office were only one year

1988
