Idaho 2018 had record turnout, a 37.6% increase from 2014 (and this would be more significant than most states due to how small it is). Jordan's vote count was actually a majority of the 2014 votes. So it could be mainly a big increase in turnout, in such a small and solidly Republican state, altered the margin. I'm not sure why turnout increased so much and whether it was just normal 2018 turnout being better than 2014 or some Idaho-specific factors.
