It wouldn't be difficult to decide that Westercon is a marginal convention of little political importance.
Keep in mind also that the last worldcon was in LA so bids could also easily decide that they had already "covered" the likely West Coast voters . . .
Speaking of site selection politics, I heard a rumor that Montreal is bidding a single hotel without enough coverage for a worldcon and does not have agreements with others. Do you happen to know whether this is true or just a rumor?
