It was because with one vote, or three for every voter, it became easy for someone to gather a group and get someone elected. The last year it was used, "he who can not be named" got the German supporters together and got elected to the national. It seems to me with the weighted ballot it will be easier for that same block of voters to get their person in they just vote for one and everyone outside the block will dilute their vote by voting for three.
