[EL] History of statewide recounts; more in NH US Senate 1974

[Richard Winger]

The 1974 US Senate general election in New Hampshire was Louis Wyman, Republican, 110,926; John A. Durkin, Democratic, 110,924.  As already stated below, the strongly Democratic US Senate refused to seat Wyman and NH agreed to hold a special election do-over Sep. 16, 1975, which Durkin won.

In Virginia we are narrowing down to an election outcome where the two candidates for Attorney general will be separated by perhaps less than 100 votes out of 2.2 million. Reporters want to know if this will be the closest statewide margin in history where there were, say, over 1 million vote cast. So, I throw the question to the combined wisdom of the list serve: what was the closest statewide election in history?
