The only way to stop the slates is to make them ineffective. The voters have done this. And are probably happy to do so for years. How many years do you think it will take before the slates give up due to it being a wasted exercise?

Another factor is that the oxygen has been removed from the publisher's marketing campaigns based on Hugo's wins. So, the publishers are going to be hurt by this. They can bring pressure on the authors pushing the slates to end it.
