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.

One Vote Counts

Myths dispelled thanks to Urban Legends

1844

1 vote elected David Kelso (see next entry) as Indiana State Senator. Kelso had defended a farmer named Freeman Clark obtaining an acquittal for Murder. As Clark lay seriously ill in bed he begged his sons to carry him to the county seat to cast his vote for David Kelso. Freeman Clark died on his way back home.

1844

1 vote elected Edward A. Hannigan (see entry below) as United States Senator by the Indiana State Congress. The Democrats, with a majority of one favored another candidate who was opposed to the admission of Texas to the union, pressured by one of their own, David Kelso who threatened to bolt to and vote with the wigs, voted in Hannigan. The one vote was that of David Kelso (see above entry).

1845

U.S.
TX
IN

1 vote admitted Texas as the 28th state in the Union -- the one vote of Edward A. Hannigan (See above entry) from Indiana. Actually the votes were a Senate vote of 27 to 25 and a House vote of 132 to 75. The one vote could have tied the Senate. For finalization it had to be ratified by the Texas Congress and voters.

1847

1 vote in Indiana's 6th. District U.S. House of Representative race gave the victory to the Whig candidate. George G. Dunn defeated Democratic candidate David M. Dobson 7455 to 7454.
