Just received this email from Mintpal support:  Apparently they think that someone was using a "bot" to vote, so all we could do was advise them that it is not true and it is very unfair to our community.  I guess this is Mintpal showing some true colors.  Hopefully nobody was actually using a bot, as it just hurts the real voters (but I do not believe anyone was):

Hello,

This afternoon we removed a lot of bot votes, your coin was one of the less penalised ones compared to some others.
