A single vote can decide an election if it’s the last one needed to make someone win. Imagine you're playing a game where you need exactly 10 points to win, if you have 9 and someone else has 9, whoever gets the next point wins. That’s like how elections work sometimes! A person's vote might be that final point.
Examples
- One person’s ballot changes which team wins the election.
- Just one more vote makes the class representative win.
