It's not really "elitist" if the reason the "ordinary voter" doesn't show up is simply because s/he can't be bothered to show up. No one is keeping anybody out, are they?
And what's wrong with keeping out the rubes, really? The "average voter" is generally a lazy moron with a barely cursory knowledge of the issues and candidates anyway.
