Yes, but that's why we should get rid of delegates. Ranked choice voting, popular vote wins

There are voting methods not subject to Arrow's Theorem (Approval Voting, for one), but whatever you choose, the event of an exact tie is always going to be tricky to resolve.

Not really IRV creates more opportunities for ties because it has multiple rounds of voting and because ties among losers matter just as much as ties for the win

We've *never* had a tie in the FPTP general election in the US, whereas it happens constantly in the ranked-choice Democratic caucuses

I'd be very surprised if they actually happened more often, since the stories about coin flips etc are usually generated after multiple rounds of runoffs
