If we consistently had a /lot/ of candidates who were being passed over 
by the "popular" ones, maybe you'd have an argument.  Given that we're 
seeing a struggle to get /anybody/ to fill the open seats and are often 
voting where there is 1 extra candidate beyond seats to fill I really 
don't thing adding any additional barriers to those seats is going to 
improve matters.
