I don't see that as a problem at all. In the case of a general election you'd tend to wind up with people elected by large groups of people who know something about issues that's important to them. If enough large groups all vote for one guy, that guy apparently represents interests that are important to a large number of people. Far better than the more likely alternative of a bunch of people who know little about any thing electing the guy who has the nicest smile.
In this case, they are only going to include a handful of exceptions, so it would seem to more effective if large numbers of people can agree on ONE exception they'd like rather than large numbers off folks all requesting their personal variant..."splitting the vote" in a sense.
