Who's been saying the Hugo process is corrupt?

I like Cheryl fine and she may well be going through some personal issues, but one reason why some segments of fandom will never ever take the Hugos all that seriously is the constant hectoring on the part of the folks who have taken organizational responsibility.

It's also rather a joke to insist that the same people who voted for Connie Willis voted for Clarkesworld. We have no idea how the votes shook out; my guess would be that most CW partisans were primarily supporters or either Jemisin or Macguire in the novel category. But the important thing is to insist that any critique or complaint of Hugo results is a priori wrong and bad unfannish and elitist.

It sounded to me from the content of the post that she was already exhausted by her responsibilities, as well as having suffered a recent personal loss.
