This fails to take into account margins of error. An election won by one vote would result in suits over the count being within the margin of error. In some states any result within a certain margin is decided by other means, including runoffs or even coin flips (though I'm not sure how this would apply in the case of a federal election).
The hubbub over Coleman vs. Franken showed its not as simple as guy wins by 1 vote, gets elected.
