From a Republican perspective, 1884 and 1960.
In 1884, the Democrats won New York by 1,047 votes which turned the election from Blaine to Cleveland. Tammany Hall did a better job padding New York City results than did upstate Republicans.
In 1960, the Dailey machine stole Illinois (9,142 votes), Johnson's cronies easily came up with enough fictious votes in Texas (46,257 votes, not a tall order in Texas), and Missouri (9,980 votes), where the St Louis machine produced the needed margin.
