By general, do you mean national?

There have certainly been cases where national elections have been 
decided by a few thousand votes, but I believe you're correct that it's 
never come down to a single vote before.

On the other hand, local elections (which arguably have a much more 
immediate effect on the voters) frequently do come down to a few dozen 
votes, and have on occasion been decided by a single vote.
