NASFiC is a strange animal. A lot of people just don't care about it, even people who care enough to vote in Worldcon site selection and Hugos.
I haven't been able to find the ballot details for the past NASFiC site selections, so I can't say what the average ballot count is, but it's going to be lower than Worldcon site selection. Uncontested Worldcon site selections have, in some cases, had far less than 1,000 total ballots.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a social experiment. How many people are really going to vote in a contested NASFiC race? How many votes is a serious write-in candidate without a campaign going to get?
Remember, they've already got a convention in the works. If they lose, they've still got a convention. If they win, they've got most of their groundwork laid.
