I'm not Abd, but I think the reasoning goes like this: If people vote according to VNM utilities, then they'll vote their preference among the candidates their vote has some chance of influencing. From such a point of view, "lesser of two evils" would not be strategy, since one would only be able to influence a decision between those "evils" in the first place.
