Dacono recount favors incumbent

Election officials in Dacono announced today that the town's mayor had won re-election, by a single vote.

If he had lost by one vote, would that vote still matter?

When it comes to national races, the chance that one vote will actually make a difference is virtually nonexistant, but when it comes to local elections, it's an entirely different ballgame.
