Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1870 |  / South Carolina |
US House | At large | 0.0425% | 61 | 143,545 | South Carolina claimed an extra seat in the House and this was an at-large election. Johann Peter Martin Epping defeated Lucius W. Wimbush by 61 votes: 71803-71742. But the House refused to seat him. "A number of southern states upon readmission claimed that since their slaves were emancipated, they were entitled to larger delegations in the House. Epping's election falls in this category. The claims were rejected by the House."[1][2][3][4] |
| 1870 | / Pennsylvania |
US House | District 15 | 0.053% | 11 | 20659 | Democrat challenger Milton Speer defeated Republican incumbent Daniel J. Morrell by 11 votes: 10335-10324.[5][6][7] |
| 1870 | / Pennsylvania |
US House | District 16 | 0.0584% | 15 | 25,703 | Democrat challenger Benjamin F. Meyers defeated Republican incumbent John Cessna by 15 votes: 12859-12844.[8][9] Cessna contested the result but was unsuccessful.[10] |
| 1870 | / Kentucky |
US House | District 8 | 0.074% | 18 | 24,434 | Democrat incumbent George M. Adams defeated Republican challenger Hugh F. Finley by 18 votes: 12,226-12,208.[11][12] |
| 1870 | / Indiana |
US House | District 4 | 0.0159% | 4 | 25,118 | Republican Jeremiah M. Wilson defeated Democrat David S. Gooding by 4 votes: 12561-12557.[13] Gooding contested. The Committee's majority report gave Wilson a "clear legal majority of 8", while the minority report gave Gooding a majority of 17. The US House then voted 105-64 (71 abstentions) "on strictly party lines" to reject the minority report, accept the majority report, and thereby seat Wilson.[14][15][16] |
| 2002 | / Washington |
Republican Primary | District 26 Position #1 | 0.0085% | 1 | 11,739 | Ed Mitchell defeated Kevin Entze by one vote: 5870-5869.[17][18] |
| 1882 | / Virginia |
US House | District 1 | 0.00472% | 1 | 21,177 | The initial tally had incumbent Democrat George T. Garrison up 70 votes on Readjuster challenger Robert M. Mayo. The Readjuster-controlled State Board of Canvassers then threw out the votes of Gloucester County and Hog Island precinct (Garrison had received all 14 votes from Hog Island). The new totals then had Mayo up one: 10,505-10,504. (A third candidate, the Republican John W. Woltz, received 168 votes.)[19] Garrison then contested the result in the US House. The Committee of Elections chose to accept the Gloucester County and Hog Island ballots. The US House then voted unanimously to seat Garrison.[20] |
| 2004 | / Utah |
Salt Lake City | School District 2 | 0.02579% | 1 | 3,877 | The initial tally on election night had J. Michael Clara up 60 votes on Alama Uluave. The following morning, Uluave was up 6. After waiting two weeks for provisional ballots, Uluave's lead fell to 3. The official recount then had Uluave winning by one vote: 1939-1938.[21][22] |
| 2004 | / Alabama |
Guntersville | Mayor | 0.042% | 1 (initial) | 2,383 (initial) | The initial tally had incumbent James Townson beating challenger Bob Hembree by two votes: 1242-1241 votes. Two voters contested the result. The trial court changed the tally to 1226-1228, so that Hembree now won by two votes. Townson appealed. The Alabama Supreme Court decided that 30 absentee votes for Townson were invalid and Hembree won, but did not give any final official tally.[23][24] |
| 2002 | / Oklahoma |
Delaware county election | District 1 Commissioner | 0.025% | 1 | 3,997 | The initial tally had challenger Jim White beating incumbent Bruce Poindexter 1999-1998. Poindexter asked for a recount and also complained of voting irregularities. While the recount was ongoing, a district judge ruled voting irregularities did exist and, given the slim margin of error, decided to call for a new election.[25] Poindexter won the second election 1329-1299 and this time White contested.[26] |
| 2011 | / Nevada |
Municipal primary | North Las Vegas Ward 2 council seat | 0% | 0 | 1,584 | In this 7-way race for 2 spots on the general election ballot,[27] Linda Meisenheimer and Tanya Flanagan were tied in 2nd place with 328 votes (20.71%) each. (Goynes-Brown was 1st with 425 votes.) As per Nevada law, the tie was broken by lot. In this case a high-card draw. Meisenheimer's diamond king beat Flanagan's diamond five.[28][29] (Goynes-Brown would win the general election.)[30] |
| 2000 | / Montana |
Democratic primary | Montana Superintendent of Public Instruction | 0.066% | 61 | 91,972 | In this 3-way race, the initial tally for Linda McCulloch, Gail Gray, and Mike Schwinden was 31,572-31,508-28,739. Gray requested a recount and McCulloch still won by 61 votes: 31,634-31,573-28,765 votes.[31] McCulloch would also go on to win the general election.[32] |
| 1990 | / Montana |
Carbon county Democratic primary | County attorney | 0% | 0 | 1,672 (uncertain) | Initially, Tony Kendall was up one vote on Gary Spaeth: 836 to 835. An official electronic count gave Kendall a three-vote margin. A subsequent manual recount then produced a tie.
So as per Montana law, they then resolved to break the tie by lot. Two quarters dated 1985 and 1989 were placed in a can. Kendall drew the 1989 coin and thereby won. Spaeth contested that one ballot was in fact for him, but the District Court ruled otherwise. He then appealed to the Montana Supreme Court but to no avail.[33] Spaeth's brother subsequently confessed that he hadn't voted.[34] Note that there was no Republican contender, so this was in effect the election for the office of county attorney itself.[35] |
| 2000 | / Michigan |
Onota Township | Clerk | 0% | 0 | 188 | Janelle Snyder had been declared the winner by two votes over Mary Hanson and sworn into office before a recount changed the vote to 94-94.[36] |
| 2000 | / Michigan |
Fife Lake Township | Supervisor | 0% | 0 | 594 | On election night, incumbent Dave Stremlow was up one vote on challenger Toni Larson: 297-296. A manual recount found that one vote for Larson had been incorrectly rejected by the optical scanning voting machine and thus left them tied at 297-297. As per Michigan law, the tie was to be broken by lot. The county court clerk first flipped a coin to decide who would draw from a box two slips of paper — one labeled "Elected" and the other labeled "Not elected". Larson won the coin toss, then also picked out the slip of paper labeled "Elected".[36][37][38] |
| 1977 | / Michigan |
Ann Arbor | Mayor | 0.00469% | 1 | 21,319 | Democrat incumbent Albert Wheeler defeated Republican Louis D. Belcher by one vote: 10,660-10,659. Belcher contested the result, asserting that 20 of the voters did not live within city boundaries. The Court of Appeals then subpoenaed all 20 of these non-residents, making them reveal their vote.[39][40] But one pre-law student refused and was arrested for contempt of court. After three days, she still refused to reveal her vote. The Michigan Supreme Court upheld her constitutional right to a secret ballot. The judge and the two candidates then agreed to simply call a new election.[41][42][43] This was held a year later in 1978 — Belcher won and unseated Wheeler.[44] |
| 2001 | / Massachusetts |
Melrose | City mayor | 0% | 0 (initial) | 5,684 (initial) | After a lively four-way race for mayor, the election wound up in a dead heat: on the evening of Election Day, Board of Aldermen President Rob Dolan and School Committee Chairman Rich Connolly both had exactly 2,842 votes. The next day, city officials examined four ballots that weren’t recorded by Melrose’s optical scan voting system. Three were found to be blank, but one was judged to be a vote for Dolan, giving him a one-vote lead going into the full manual recount. The manual recount then gave Dolan another 9 votes, so that he won by a 10-vote margin.[45][46] |
| 1988 | / Massachusetts |
Massachusetts Governor's Council | Democratic Primary | 0.01698% | 5 (final) | 29,439 (initial) | In the recount, Robert B. Kennedy led Herbert Connolly by one vote: 14,716-14,715.[47] (Connolly had actually failed to vote for himself.)[48] In the recount, Kennedy again led by one vote: 14,691-14,690. Connolly contested the result. The Supreme Judicial Court considered 116 contested votes and decided ultimately that Kennedy won by five votes: 14,709-14,704.[49] |
| 1950 | / Maryland |
State Senate | Garrett county | 0.0162% | 1 | 6,159 | Republican incumbent Neil C. Fraley defeated Democrat challenger Bernard I. Gonder by one vote: 3080-3079.[50][51][52][53] Gonder contested the result but to no avail.[54] |
| 2004 | / Maine |
Portland municipal | School Committee Representative for City District 3 | 0.0155% | 1 | 6,437 | After a recount held on November 10, 2004 candidate Julia Finn had 3,217 votes and candidate Jason Toothaker had 3,216 votes. These totals included 7 disputed ballots. There remained another 6 disputed ballots — the Superior Court decided that 2 were invalid, 3 were valid votes for Toothaker, and 1 was a valid vote for Finn. Hence, Toothaker won by one vote: 3,219-3,218.[55] |
| 1831 |  |
UK Parliamentary | Bandon by-election | 0% | 0 | 10 | Sir A. W. Clifford and Viscount Lowther each received 4 votes (Viscount Bernard received 2 votes). The Provost John Swete, as returning officer, then voted a second time for Clifford, who was thereby elected. Lowther's 4 voters entered a protest but Clifford was elected anyway.[56][57][58][59] |
| 2002 | / Connecticut |
Connecticut House | District 65 | 0.0155% | 1 | 6,471 | Republican Anne Ruwet defeated Democrat John S. Kovaleski by one vote (3,236-3,235).[60] |
| 2008 | / South Carolina |
Florence mayor | Democratic primary | 0.034% | 1 | 2,935 | No Republican candidates were contesting so this was in effect the contest for mayor proper. The initial count had incumbent Frank Willis down by one vote to challenger Stephen Wukela (1467-1468).[61] A recount produced the same result. Willis further contested the result, but the Democratic Party Committee voted 4-2 to uphold it.[62] Willis further appealed, but the South Carolina Supreme Court again upheld Wukela's win.[63] |
| 1998 | / Florida |
Democratic primary | Gilchrist County Commission | 0% | 0 | 1,818 | The election ended in a tie, with each candidate receiving 909 votes. As permitted by Florida law, the result was determined by a coin toss, with John Rance Thomas defeating Edwin Douglas.[64][65] |
| 2005 | / Illinois |
Lake County Municipal | Round Lake trustee | 0.0249% | 1 | 4,014 | Dale Multerer beat Don Newby by one vote (669-668) for the third and final seat. On his way home after the victory, Multerer fell out of his minivan, hit his head, and went into a three-week coma.[66][67] |
| 1868 | / North Carolina |
US House | District 7 | 0.087% | 18 | 20,676 | Plato Durham was initially declared elected over Alexander H. Jones with a 18-vote majority: 10347-10329. But the Republicans raised the cry of "fraud" and the votes were sent to General Canby at Charleston, who threw out enough to defeat Durham.[68][69][70][71] |
| 1843 | / Indiana |
State Senate | Switzerland county | 0% | 0 | 1,830 | Daniel Kelso was initially up one vote on David Henry: 917-916. This election was extensively contested. It was alleged that two additional votes had been incorrectly given to Kelso, so that Henry had in fact won 916-915. There was also one fraudulent vote found in favor of Henry, so the Senate Committee concluded that the correct vote was 915-915. But the Committee also found that the county provision in case of a tie (to let county officials decide the winner) was unconstitutional, and so they reported that no legal election had taken place in Switzerland County and neither Henry nor Kelso won.[72][73]One book[74] reports: Switzerland County was represented in the Senate in 1842 by Daniel Kelso; in 1843, 1844 and 1845, by David Henry. Also:
"It has been repeated time and again that the annexation of Texas was carried in the United States Senate by one vote; that Edward A. Hannegan, then the United States Senator from Indiana was elected to the Senate by one vote, and that that one vote was given Hannegan by Daniel Kelso, then senator from Switzerland County, who was elected by one majority. "This is an error, for Kelso, when he voted for Hannegan as United States Senator, represented Switzerland County by virtue of a majority of about 150 voters of the county, over Samuel Howard at the August election of 1842. In 1843 David Henry was elected over Kelso by one majority. Kelso contested the election, and the Senate declared that neither was elected, and sent them back to the people for decison, and at the August election, 1844, Henry was elected by a small but decided majority." (An apocryphal story continues to be told, for example by ABC News, about a "David Kelso" winning by one vote in a 1844 Indiana Senate election, the one vote being the vote of a dying man whom "David Kelso" once defended.) |
| 1988 | / Iowa |
Democratic primary | Iowa House District 67 | 0.0448% | 1 | 2,232 | Bob Hellyer won the Democratic primary for Iowa House District 67 by one vote. Hellyer received 768 and James Martley received 767.[75][76] |
| 2009 | / California |
Rosemead | City council | 0.00832% | 1 | 12,016 | John Tran was a member of the Rosemead City Council and the city's sitting mayor until the March 3 election, which was a six-way race for three seats. He lost. By one vote. And that's after two recounts.[77][78][79][80] |
| 2006 | / California |
Capitola | City council | 0.0376% | 3 | 7,970 | In this 8-way race for 3 council seats, Maureen O'Malley Moore appeared to have nabbed the 3rd and last seat by three votes, but final county results, which included absentee ballots, reversed that, whereupon former Councilmember Ron Graves led by three. Moore requested a recount but Graves was still elected.[81][82][83] |
| 2002 | / California |
Capitola | City council | 0.0138% (at most) | 1 | 7,231 (at least) | On the first count, returning Councilman Dennis Norton and city Treasurer Robert Begun were tied 1805-1805. A second count raised the vote to a 1,806 -- 1,806 tie. A third count gave Norton the one-vote edge: 1807-1806. A further four-day recount gave each candidate one additional vote so that again Norton won by one vote: 1808-1807[84][85][86][87][88] |
| 2000 | / Oklahoma |
LeFlore county | Sheriff | 0.014795% | 1 | 6,759 | The initial count had incumbent Kendall Ballew beating challenger Roy D. Gentry by one vote: 3378-3377. Gentry paid a $1,200 deposit to demand the recount. The recount then reversed the result (3379-3380), with Gentry declared sheriff by one vote.[89][90][91] |
| 2003 | / West Virginia |
Bellaire | Board of Education seat | 0.0477% | 1 | 2,095 | The initial tally had W. Meek Duvall and Brenda Hughes tied with 1047 votes each. A recount uncovered 1 vote for Duvall, so that Duvall won 1048-1047.[92] |
| 1859 | / Kentucky |
US House | District 4 | 0.0208% | 3 | 14,405 | The initial tally had William C. Anderson and James S. Chrisman at 7204-7201 votes. This was certified and Anderson seated. Chrisman contested and many errors were discovered.
The (majority of the) House Committee concluded that Anderson still won: 7229-7222. However, it also contended that Casey precinct should be deducted, in which case Anderson again won, this time with a 53-vote majority 7180-7127. And when illegal votes were further deducted, Anderson was still the victor 7155-7046. The House voted 112-61 to seat Anderson. It seems that the originally-certified tally was not changed[93][94] |
| 1859 | / Tennessee |
US House | District 9 | 0.037% | 7 | 18,867 | Emerson Etheridge defeated Democrat John DeWitt Clinton Atkins 9437-9430.[95][96] |
| 1858 | / New York |
US House | District 9 | 0.082% | 13 | 15,806 | Anti-Administration Democrat John B. Haskin defeated Democrat Gouverneur Kemble 7637-7624. A third candidate Edward A. Andrews won 545 votes.[97][98] |

| 1854 | / Illinois |
US House | District 7 | 0.0059% | 1 | 16,903 | On the initial tally, incumbent Democrat James C. Allen was ahead of challenger Republican William B. Archer by one vote: 8452-8451.
Archer contested. Livingston precinct had initially certified Allen and Archer's votes as 47-100 (in that precinct). But they later certified that they had made a mistake and the vote (in that precinct) should instead have been 46-102. In which case the overall vote should have been 8451-8453. The Committee of Elections concluded that Allen had won by at least 1 and probably 2 votes and recommended that he be seated. However, the House voted 94-90 that Allen would not be seated and also voted 91-89 that Archer would not be seated either. The seat was thus vacated.[100][101] In the 1856 special election or rematch between Allen and Archer, Allen soundly defeated Archer 13,081-10,136.[102] |
| 1853 | / Georgia |
US House | District 3 | 0.0478% | 5 | 10,459 | Democrat David J. Bailey defeated Whig Robert P. Trippe 5232-5227.[103] |

US House | At-large | 0.0091% | 31 | 340,742 | In this very close 12-way race for 6 seats (1st and 12th place were separated by 0.0578%), 6th-place Joseph Randolph and 7th-place Whig candidate named Strat (fighting for the 6th and last seat) were separated by 31 votes (0.0091%): 28,426-28,395.[110] |

Ballou then won the coin toss (the 1964 Kennedy half dollar landed on heads).[122] |
| 1847 | / Indiana |

State House | Chittenden-4 District | 0.0455% | 3 (first recount) | 6,596 (final count) | In this contest for two seats, the four candidates — Democrats Thomas A. O'Neil and Ruth Painter; and Republicans Ruth S. Stokes and Howard P. Lunderville — initially received 1821-1651-1632-1493 votes. Stokes then petitioned for a recount, whereupon the result was reversed: Stokes was now up on Painter by 3 votes — 1641-1638. Painter then petitioned for a second recount, but this was rejected by the Chittenden County Superior Court. She then further petitioned the Vermont House for relief. A complete recount was made, with the vote now 1822-1632-1649-1493, so that Stokes was duly elected.[128] |
| 1996 | / Vermont |
State Senate | Rutland County | 0.0032% | 2 | 62,071 (initial count)[129] | There were six candidates for the three Rutland County Senate seats. On the night of the election, John H. Bloomer, Jr. and Cheryl M. Hooker received the first and second highest vote totals. Hull Maynard received the third highest total with 10,952 votes and Thomas Macaulay received the fourth highest total with 10,934 votes.
Macaulay petitioned for a recount, whereupon the Rutland Superior Court determined that Maynard still beat Macaulay by two votes: 10,978-10,976. Macaulay's petition for further relief was dismissed by the Senate.[130][131][128] |
| 2016 | / Vermont |
State House | Windsor-Orange 1 District | 0.0498% | 1 | 2,007 (final recount) | This was the fourth matchup between incumbent Democrat Sarah Buxton and Republican David Ainsworth (their first matchup had also been decided by one vote). The initial tally had Buxton leading by 3 votes: 1,003-1,000.
The first recount had them both tied at 1,000. The second recount then had Ainsworth win by one vote 1,004-1,003. Buxton did not make any further appeals and this was the final result.[132][133] |
| 2010 | / Vermont |
State House | Windsor-Orange 1 District | 0.057% | 1 | 1,761 (final recount) | On the initial tally, challenger Democrat Sarah Buxton and incumbent Republican David Ainsworth had 882-881 votes. On a recount, they were tied, with one mailed-in military vote for Buxton rejected. Buxton appealed and the Superior Court ruled that vote valid, so that Buxton still won by one vote (881-880). Ainsworth then appealed but the House voted along party lines to uphold Buxton's one-vote victory.[128][134][135] Remarkably, their fourth matchup in 2016 would again be decided by one vote, but with the result reversed. |

State House | Windham-4 District | 0.087% | 1 | 1,143 (House recount) | On election night, Democrat Robert Emond was declared victor over incumbent Republican Sydney Nixon by one vote. Nixon then petitioned for a recount in Windham Superior Court under the provisions of 17 V.S.A. § 1361. The recount committee in that court found Nixon to be the winner by one vote and the court gave him a certificate of election.
However, a House committee did its own recount and found Emond to be the winner by one vote (572-571 according to one site[136]). Rather than force the full House to vote on the recount report, Nixon simply resigned, thereby giving Emond the win.[128][137][138][139][140] (Note that the year of this contested election is incorrectly given by many sites as 1997.) |
| 1996 | / South Dakota |
State House | House District 6 | 0.01% | 2 | 19,755 | Four candidates for two seats — Democrats Roger Lee and Douglas Kazmerzak; and Republicans Joe Lakness and Arthur F. Fryslie — initially received respectively 6506 (32.95%), 4526 (22.92%), 4198 (21.26%), and 4513 (22.86%) votes (19,743 total), so that Kazmerzak beat Fryslie by 13 votes for the second seat
On a recount, Fryslie instead won by 2 votes, with the new tally being 6520 (33.00%), 4519 (22.88%), 4195 (21.24%), and 4,521 (22.89%) (19,755 total votes). The South Dakota Supreme Court ordered that a recount of the votes in Codington and Miner counties according to their prescription. On the final recount, Kazmerzak beat Fryslie by 41 votes, the final official tally being 6528 (32.90%), 4575 (23.06%), 4203 (21.18%), and 4534 (22.85%) (19,840 total votes).[141][142] |
| 1998 | / South Dakota |
State House | House District 12 | 0% | 4 | 12,454 | In this remarkable rematch, four candidates Democrats John R. McIntyre and Robert Litz; and, Republicans Hal Wick and Judy Rost were contesting two seats. On the initial count, they had respectively 3,229 (25.84%), 2,250 (18.00%), 3,229 (25.84%), and 3,790 (30.32%) (12,498 total votes). As in 1996, Rost won the first seat, while McIntyre and Wick were very close — indeed tied — for the second seat.
But on a recount, McIntyre was found to be ahead by 4 votes, with the final official tally being 3,219 (25.85%), 2,244 (18.02%), 3,215 (25.81%), 3,776 (30.32%) (12,454 total votes). The House then voted 36-33, this time to seat McIntyre.[143][144] |
| 1996 | / South Dakota |
State House | House District 12 | 0% | 0 | 16,962 | Four candidates Democrats John R. McIntyre and Dick Casey; and, Republicans Hal Wick and Judy Rost were contesting two seats. In the initial tally, they had respectively 4195 (24.73%), 3889 (22.93%), 4191 (24.71%), and 4687 (27.63%) votes (16,962 total votes). McIntyre was initially declared to have been elected by a four-vote margin. Wick petitioned for a recount in accordance with SDCL 12-21-12. The recount was conducted in the presence of representatives for both candidates. The results were certified on December 4, 1996, and showed that Wick had been elected by one vote: 4191 (24.71%), 3891 (22.94%), 4192 (24.71%), 4689 (27.64%) (16,963 total votes). The South Dakota Supreme Court examined several ballots and invalidated one vote for Wick. The House then voted 46-20 to seat Wick.[142][143][141] Remarkably, two years later, McIntyre and Wick would again tie (at least on the initial count). |
| 1989 | / Michigan |
Lansing School District | Millage Proposition | 0% | 0 | 10,294 | In 1989, a Lansing, Michigan School District millage proposition failed when the final recount produced a tie vote 5,147 for, and 5,147 against. On the original vote count, votes against the proposition were ten more than those in favor. The result meant that the school district had to reduce its budget by $2.5 million.[145] |
| 1994 | / Wyoming |
State House | House District 21 | 0% | 0 | 3,882 (at least) | Republican Randall Luthi and independent candidate Larry Call each received 1,941 votes in a state House race in northern Lincoln County. On live TV (NBC's Today Show) Secretary of State Kathy Karpan drew a ping pong ball with Luthi's name out of Governor Sullivan's rumpled cowboy hat.[146][147] |
| 2004 | / Nevada |
County Commissioner | White Pine Seat 3 | 0% | 0 | 3,694[148] | A county commission race in this gambling state was decided in true Nevada fashion--by the luck of the draw. After finishing Tuesday's election tied with 1,847 votes each, Robert Swetich and Raymond Urrizaga agreed to draw cards to resolve the deadlocked White Pine County commission race. Urrizaga drew first, choosing a queen of clubs. His opponent drew a seven of diamonds and congratulated the winner.[149][150] |
| 2017 | |
Local town council | Horwich Church Ward By-Election | 0% | 0 | 1,188 (excluding two spoilt/unmarked votes and the "vote" by the queen of clubs) | Labour candidate Richard Silvester and Lib Dem candidate Gordon Stone each had 384 votes (after two recounts). The returning officer then ruled the contest would be decided on the turn of a card.
Stone's queen of clubs beat Silvester's jack of spades. (A total of 1,191 votes were cast including the final vote cast by the draw of the card. Two were spoilt or unmarked.)[151][152][153] |
| 1839 | / Massachusetts |
Governor | State | 0.00098% | 1 | 102,066[154] | Marcus Morton and the incumbent Whig Edward Everett received 51,034-50,725 votes, with the remaining 307 votes went to scattering. The constitution of Massachusetts required a candidate to receive a majority of votes cast in order to win the office outright; otherwise, the legislature would have the authority to choose among the leading candidates. In January 1840, when the state’s legislature convened to review the returns, the Whigs controlled both houses. The legislature could successfully deprive Morton of a majority if it disqualified the return from the town of Westfield. There was, moreover, an argument for doing so: the Westfield return was irregular and improper under the laws of the state because the attestation of its authenticity was not under seal. Instead, the return had been sealed first, and only afterward affixed with an attestation from the relevant local official.
In the annals of American history there is not an equivalent example of a candidate in a major statewide election willing to forgo a victory so tantalizingly within reach based on, first, such a narrow a margin and, second, such a readily available legal argument for invalidating disputed ballots. |

US House | 3rd District | 0.0268% | 5 | 18,641[155] (depending on which count use) | After much investigation, the Committee of Elections gave Walbridge Field the 5-vote majority over Benjamin Dean. |

US House | 5th District (Oxford) | 0.06% | 3 | 4,994 | In the September 1828 election, Reuel Washburn and James Ripley had 2,495-2,180 votes. But Maine law required that the winner have an absolute majority of the votes, i.e. 2,498 votes and so Washburn was 3 short. A new election was held in December 1828 and Ripley won a majority. There was some further wrangling but eventually Ripley was declared elected.[158] |
| 1822 | / New York |
US House | 29th District | 0.024% | 1 | 4,143 (recount) | Initially, Isaac Wilson and Parmenio Adams had 2,093-2,077 votes. On a recount, the tally changed to 2,071-2,072. There were also other irregularities raised. The committee of elections considered it "doubtful, from the evidence, who ought to have been returned". The House then voted 116-85 to seat Adams.[159] |

| 1908 | / Massachusetts |
US House | 10th District | 0.0112% | 4 | 35,671[164] | Representative Joseph F. O'Connell, a Democrat, defeated J. Mitchell Galvin, a Republican, by four votes, 16,553 to 16,549.[165] The record does not disclose the official returns, but a recount before a bipartisan board under the laws of Massachusetts gave O’Connell 16,553 votes, Galvin 16,549 votes, and two other candidates 1,380 and 1,187 votes, respectively, a plurality of 4 votes for Galvin, the sitting Member.[166] |

Johnson opposed Frank Trnka, the incumbent, for the office of county auditor. The Isanti County Canvassing Board declared Trnka to be the winner (2,543-2,539). The trial court ordered an inspection of the votes and Johnson was instead declared the winner by 2 votes. The case went to the Minnesota Supreme Court where it was instead decided that the vote was tied.[168] "Johnson took office in late 1967 after a long court dispute over the 1966 election."[169] |

City council | Pepper Pike | 0% | 0 | 6,641[174] | Six candidates ran for the four council seats. Frederick I. Taft and Richard M. Bain were tied 1,124-1,124, which resulted in a tie for the fourth council seat. Pursuant to R.C. 3505.33,[175] the chairman of the board of elections flipped a coin to break the tie and declared Taft the winner. The first recount then changed Taft and Bain's votes to 1,123-1,124 and Bain was instead declared the winner. A further investigation then revealed that one vote was defective. A second recount then had them both again tied at 1,124-1,124. But instead of conducting a new coin-flip, Taft was declared the winner based on the first coin-flip. The case went to the Ohio Supreme Court,[176] which ordered a new coin-flip that Taft would again win.[177] |
| 1990 | / Illinois |
Republican primary | 55th district | 0.04% | 6 | 14,778 | Initially, Rosemary Mulligan and Penny Pullen were certified as having 7,431-7,400 votes and Mulligan was declared the winner. The trial court ordered a recount that then had them tied at 7,387-7,387. The Illinois Compiled Statutes requires that ties be resolved by lot.[178] Mulligan won the coin flip and was declared the winner by the trial court. Pullen appealed and the Illinois Supreme Court decided that the correct vote count was 7,392-7,386.[179] |

Therefore Malone would have had a majority of 2 votes had they been included in the count. On hearing an Election Petition in the High Court on 6 October 1997 Lord Justice Brooke and Mr. Justice Gage ordered that there should be a fresh election. The petition also stated that four voters cast tendered ballots after claiming to have been personated, but the personators could not be found and the allegation was not pursued.[282] In the subsequent by-election, Oaten crushed Malone (37,006-15,450). |
