They don't currently do so, so why would they do so in the future?

It is not completely unexpected for a tie to occur and, when that 
happens under Plurality (First-Past-The-Post), the winner has generally 
been determined by random.

However, I would agree with the following statement:

I think voters will reject any method that isn't deterministic except in 
the case where a true tie requires a resolution.
