Think one vote never makes a difference? Take a look at the Virginia House of Delegates. Jim Morrison and Fenit Nirappil have this report for the WaPo.
The election for District 94 in the Virginia House was previously thought to have been decided by one vote. However, one vote for that had previously been thrown out has now been found to be a valid vote for the erstwhile loser, leaving a tie.
If the Republican wins this seat, the House will be 51-49. If the Democrat wins, it will be 50-50. By state law, a tie race is decided by lot.
I will bet that more than a few people in this district are wishing they had voted now.
