I believe that right now it's limited to an admin initiated vote, but I think the TF2F servers NEED a votescramble option. Too often I will see teams completely imbalanced and results in several players quitting. It's not enough to wait for 4 consecutive rolls and hope that the next map's teams will be better. Having such an option (like an RTV, working the same way) would help immensely. However, I also suggest that there be no "cooldown" to the option, as we all know that random is prone to failure as well.

I think this would be more annoying then it's worth.  Especially if there is no cool down.    I can only see a player voting for a scramble if they're on the short end of the stick.   So more often then that I see a scramble vote failing, and players on the downside spamming a vote every time it fails.  Granted, no one wants to lose, but sometimes you do.  You want to make things as fair as possible?  Hit random on the team selection screen whenever you join a server.   Then play the round, and random again when the next map starts.

 If the vote scramble fails make there a cooldown.

If you can try to vote once a map change I'd be fine with that.

Still remember "Random is everyone's friend."

Nobody ever does random. People want to play with their friends, and with people who are good. Nobody cares about stacking except those who lose out on it.

If the teams are unbalanced, there is always an admin on who has the option of scrambling the teams.

I hit random every time. And so should every TF2F, who make up at least a sizable portion of the servers all the time.

Also, they All Do tend to represent a certain area of skill, balancing this act.

I always hit random unless I am going in specifically with somebody.
