There is a tie or not a tie. What you're saying is that someone should not be allowed to win by 1 vote.
Our vote-counting methods are not accurate to within a single vote.
So if an election has a single-vote margin of victory, we'll never know about it.
When a margin of victory is smaller than the counting method's margin of error, that means we can't really tell who received more votes. This is rarely a problem, because the margin of victory is usually greater than the margin or error.
