And everyone knows Haruhi, thus she steals the votes of just about every voter that doesn't know the other character, which leads to a lopsided rape in a arena that has over 100 more voters than any other.

tl;dr - Only popular series characters are enabled the right to rape. Everyone else, consistent winning is the best they can hope for.
Iron vote base, eh. Although consistent, iron votes are directly limited by the size of the fanbase itself. So against higher-tiered contestents, Fate has to rely upon squeezing her fanbase for every last drop of voters, and hope for the best against the near full-force of casual and regular votes. As the popularity of ISML increases, the ratio of iron votes to normal votes decreases, which translates to Fate decreasing in strength. So if ISML ever gathers a stable 10000 votes per round....

Okay, I'm beginning to see your pessimism.
