That's wild and crazy, though understand where they are coming from. That is, there is so much that can go wrong without restrictions around elections. And so they are putting a blanket band, they could go in an manually add exceptions for things like this, but then people may find work arounds through those exceptions or more likely, people will say why does it allow X but not the endless "Y"s they didn't think about manually excluding or getting called bias for excluded A but not B. Hopefully next election that have something more nuanced.
