This is very close, but...

As of this moment, with a five vote difference in Iowa out of about 120,000 votes, Iowa is still not as close in % terms as (the bogus official results of) the closest election ever...

Florida 2000
George W. Bush 2,912,(790)
Al Gore 2,912,(253)


Iowa Caucus
Rick Santorum 29,66(2) Votes
Mitt Romney 29,65(7) Votes

The parentheses are to highlight the first four digits of each total.

ON EDIT: I take it back... they are almost exactly equally close
