I took a quick look now and saw that when Junior was elected 3 years earlier than Rivera in 2016 that he received 437 out of 440 votes. When Rivera was elected he received 425 votes. I couldn't find the number of people who didn't vote in 2019, but it seems there were more than just a handful, though membership could have dropped.

Also keep in mind that in 2016 the BBWAA voted to no longer have anonymous voting for the HOF, with the first year that going into effect being 2018 https://www.mlb.com/news/anonymous-h...018-c210445566.

This was rejected by the Hall, but, the pressure was on to "shame" some, or at least make them answer for their bonehead choices.
