I've been attending worldcons for about a decade, and if there's a secret cabal plotting the Hugo award choices, they inducted me into it by sending me an ID to use for nominating online, with a blank form.
Strangely enough, many of the Hugo nominees make it on best of the year lists, and I'm pretty sure that that with the exception of the rabid puppy Hugo award slate created by Vox Day, none of the rabid puppy finalists published by Vox Day's publishing house made it on best of the year lists. I have no doubt that if Tor, or Orbit, or any other publisher had done what Vox Day did with the rabid puppy slate, the Worldcon attendees would have been voting no award for them, too.
