My understanding is that, starting with Mariano Rivera's year, BBWAA ballots are no longer secret ballots. After the vote totals are announced, the individual ballots are made public. So, writers who used to vote "no" for every first ballot player are now voting "yes" to avoid public shaming.

One other point: if you receive a ballot and do not return it, your are not considered to have voted. If you return a blank ballot, you are considered to have voted for no one and that will be counted as part of the results (lowering the % for anyone who does a receive a vote).
