Ballotpedia has this surprisingly long list of state legislative races from November 2020 that were decided by fewer than 100 votes. One of them, in New Hampshire, was decided by four votes.

There is still no official winner in New York’s U.S. House seat, 22nd district. But as the court proceedings over the vote count proceed, it seems likely that Claudia Tenney, the Republican nominee, will prevail. See this story. Thanks to Joe Burns for the link.
On January 29, the New Hampshire House Election Law Committee held a hearing on HB 97 and HB 98, the bills to move the non-presidential primary from September to an earlier month. One bill puts it in June and the other puts it in August. See this story.
New Hampshire irrationally ties the petition deadline for independent candidates, and the nominees of unqualified parties, to the date of the primary. Advocates of tolerant ballot access testified against the bills. In New Hampshire, committees do not vote on the same day on which they hold hearings, so no one knows yet whether the bills will advance. If the June primary bill passes, that would move the petition deadline, even for independent presidential candidates, from August to May, and the declaration of candidacy deadline from June to March.
Arizona Representative Frank Carroll (R-Sun City West) has introduced HB 2426. It would provide that each U.S. House district elect its own presidential elector.
Arizona Representative Shawnna Bolick has introduced HB 2720. Page nine of the bill says “By majority vote, the legislature at any time before the presidential inauguration may revoke the Secretary of State’s certification of a presidential elector’s election.” This is absurd, because the electors vote in mid-December of the presidential year, and Congress counts their votes in the first week of January of the next year.
