re: I am worried that the runoff will play out similar to the Virginia election

No election is ever won by a single vote.

Wrong. About four years ago in a local quorum court representative vote in my district, a lady won the election by exactly one vote. My wife and I had planned not to vote but with a few hours left of the polls being open we decided to go vote any way since the lady was a friend of mine.

There were about 900 votes cast, she won by one.
