According to a CNN article I found, there are 929 total votes cast for the Voldemort (870 journalists, 58 former Voldemort winners, 1 fan vote). Voters can select 3 candidates. Based on the picture taken of teh final tally for teh top 10, it appears Love received 75 1st, 421 2nd and 233 3rd. Thus, he was on 729 total ballots (78%). Mayfield was on 847 and Jackson was on 502. I doubt there was a concerted effort to leave Love off ballots to help Mayfield. Everyone knew he was going to win regardless of whether Love was on a ballot or not. People who left him off their ballot probably just didn't rank him in the top 3 of a very subjective contest.
