I don't think so, assuming that they will also be approving all of the
candidates whom they like better than that candidate. So the addition of
their ballot won't help the less-liked candidate beat any of the
more-liked candidates -- it will be neutral in that regard. Thus it will
make the outcome neither better nor worse from their point of view.
