This has been a trip up for many of my ideas, and yet, I can't help but think that maybe they did. After all, they would not want to vote as a block all game, so the plan my have been to vote together day one, then split their votes later. So I did not let this idea weigh too heavily when going through my top suspects.
My top suspect, and my vote, is crazy_eoj. As I looked through the posts of my top suspects, none had the red flags that he does.
Behold, Day 1:

It's a nice way for scum to hide. With EOJ having one vote on Pux I'm going to add a 2nd to increase the pressure.

Here, crazy_eoj is is alignment with a known mafia.

Post #326
When crazy_eoj asks this, the votes are as follows:
Scornfire (4): Hockeyguy15, SebC, devo22, bizaro86
agulati (4): WinnipegFan, mrkajz44, Bonded, GGG
Bonded (4): dissentowner, agulati, Fuzz, Puxlut
hasn't voted (3): Scornfire, DropIt, crazy_eoj
Scornfire is not likely to vote for himself. It is likely that he gets to cast the deciding vote. Bonded is at risk of a lynch, and while a shift onto Scornfire would save him, it could be suspicious later. But if Scornfire will vote for agulati, then things are relatively peachy for mafia. A (presumably) villager will be lynched, and while the mafia were in on it, it's not that hard to justify lyching a villager Day 1. Thus, the information crazy_eoj is asking for is very useful to mafia. It tells them if they are okay, or if they need to start contingency planning. As a villager, unless you already had a strong read on the game (something that crazy_eoj did not seem to have), why would you really care which way Scornfire votes?
Then, after Scornfire replies non-committedly, crazy_eoj goes ahead and puts the 5th vote on agulati, putting him into the lead until DropIt and Scornfire put the nails into Bonded.
Behold, Day 2:
Five votes on GGG. devo22 wants to vote GGG, but not set up hammer, while I don't want to leave us with less than five for threshold at deadline. I come off, devo22 goes on.

Can’t ignore the fact so many are leaning the same direction.

First, interesting question mark. But also "can’t ignore the fact so many are leaning the same direction" is literally something that might've been said in the mafia chat if decided whether or crazy_eoj should vote on GGG or not. It would be a fine justification to vote on a teammate. He votes GGG, and it sets up hammer until devo22 pulls us back from the edge.
GGG then puts a vote on crazy_eoj, but he might already suspect he's hooped at this point, since there's been talk of keeping at least five votes on him. I do too, which was awkward, but it never gains more traction than that. IMO this is just as likely to direct us off his teammate than it is to be a legitimate hail mary.
devo22 then places the 6th vote, which I just noticed, WinnipegFan unvotes, re-votes, and GGG ends discussion by hammering himself.
Behold, Day 3:
crazy_eoj is currently voting on Scornfire. Scornfire, who I believe GGG inadvertently revealed to be town, particularly since GGG has flipped mafia. Scornfire, who cast the deciding vote against a troll. This is a poor vote. It would likely benefit the troll quite a bit if Scornfire were to be banned.
Behold, Conclusions:
crazy_eoj may be scum. There's at least enough reason to suspect him that it could be disastrous to leave him alive to the lynch-or-lose round. He needs to be lynched, and is unlikely to prove valuable later in the game as he is currently voting on a probable townie, so now is as good a time as any to ban him.
