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.

One Vote Counts

Myths dispelled thanks to Urban Legends

1977

1997

1 vote victory of 570 to 569 for Vermont State Representative appeared to belong to Sydney Nixon. After a recount the State House found the victory of only 1 vote went to his opponent Robert Emond. An increase of 4 votes reversed the outcome, 571 to 572.
Sydney Nixon served in the Legislature during the sessions of 1966, 1967, 1971, 1973, 1975 and in 1977* when the race was contested and Sydney Nixon was replaced.
Some accounts state 1997 but Sydney Nixon died in 1978, another Sydney Nixon?.

2001

U.S.
VT

1 vote in May, 2001, shifted the power in the US Senate as Vermont Senator, James M. Jeffords, abandons the GOP to become an Independent. This move proved to shift the power in the senate from a tie to favor the Democrats by one vote. Dem. 51 - Rep. 49 - Ind. 1 (Jeffords). Republican 'control' was short lived. In over 40 years the Republicans have never had control over both Houses and the Executive Branch. (see above entry)

2007

1 vote in the House in July failed to override Governor Jim Douglas' veto of a campaign finance reform bill.
