16. It decides the allocation of the final delegate
The district delegate counts are pretty much set, and are unlikely to change based on the recount as each candidate had a comfortable lead in the district(s) they lead in. With district delegates, Clinton will have a 1 delegate advantage. With the statewide vote so close, the only reason it matters is that there are an odd number of state wide delegates. Someone must be assigned the final delegate after assigning and equal number to each candidate. That final delegate will go to the statewide winner. So if Obama ends up ahead, they will get the same number of delegates because he will get the final state wide delegate with Clinton having 1 more district delegate. If Clinton is ahead however, she will have a 2 delegate lead with the final state wide delegate and her 1 extra district delegate.
