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.

SOUTH DAKOTA

One Vote Counts

1872

U.S.
SD

1 vote fails legislation considered by the Dakota Territory legislature to give women the vote.

1960

1 vote per district elected George McGovern senator from South Dakota.

1997

1 vote was the difference in a recount favoring Hal Wick, after Democrat John McIntyre led by 4 votes in the first count for a seat in the Legislative District 12. Republican Hal Wick's one vote was declared by the State Supreme Court to be invalid due to an over-vote. After hearing arguments from both, the State Legislature voted to seat Wick, 46 to 20.

2005

1 vote won, then 1 vote lost, James Townson's fourth term as mayor of Guntersville. On August 24 he won the election by 1 vote, then after a Marshall County Circuit Judge Tim Jolley disqualified 27 votes and allowed one uncounted challenged vote, he lost by one vote.
