I agree, especially seeing as we're dealing with some real dollars here. Perhaps it should be a combined voting, with public's votes counting towards 60% and the Staff vote counting for 40%. You could even go as far as make people rate X out of Y gamemodes, and rate them based on: Re playability, Inventiveness, How fun it is, etc. (5 or 10 point scale). By making them rate the minimum amount of games out of the total you keep people from just rating their friends/the best one.
