In fairness 'some of the voters'...maybe even a majority. The voters have the same opportunity to influence state laws as people do anywhere else in the state.

Should someone driving through a municipality who is abiding by the laws of the state be subject to arrest and conviction at any time as they travel around the state?

Preemption is, again, to prevent an unreasonable patchwork of laws in a state or in the US as a whole. Ambiguity of the law results in acquittal and simetimes injustice.
