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.

OHIO

One Vote Counts

Myths dispelled thanks to Urban Legends

1834

1 vote defeated General Duncan McArthur giving Robert Lucasto the governorship.

1889

1 vote in 1898, gave the Findlay Council position to Republican, W.F. Trueslow after a tie of 174-174 in one of the northern wards.

1948

U.S.

1 vote in each precinct in Ohio carried that state for incumbent President Harry Truman, securing his victory over Thomas E. Dewey. The same could be said of California.

1955

1 vote in 1 precinct in 1 city selected the mayor of Huron, Ohio.

1976

U.S.
OH

1 vote in each precinct in Ohio could have elected President Gerald Ford instead of Jimmy Carter. - Inaccurate, I believe the information was confused with the race for Governor (see next entry). Carter's lead over Ford in Ohio was 11,116. Had Gerald Ford won Ohio, those electoral votes would have turned the election. (If the electoral votes from Ohio were enough to sway, then maybe accurate) See next entry - V

1976

1 vote per precinct in Ohio allowed pro-life Governor James Rhodes to beat out challenging pro-abortion Richard Celeste for the governorship.

1991

1 vote over 50% elected Gerald Reed Mayor of Burbank, OH.

1993

1 vote in the race for Cleveland Heights municipal judge, gave Lynn Toler the finish ahead of Russell Baron.

1993

1 vote for 19-year-old Jan Hartman edged her identical twin sister, Ann, in a race for a city council seat in Bremen, OH.

1994

1 vote in just five precincts gave William Taylor the victory over Katherine Walsh in a State House race. Taylor became the 51st pro-life member, one more than needed for a majority. Ohio has 99 total members in the house.

2004

1 vote in a recount passed a March 2004 vote for a school district levy in Chillicothe, Ohio. The election night count showed the levy had failed by 27 votes.
