Think about it: if Ulfric simply murdered all the Jarls who opposed him and declared himself High King, the people would not support him. But now, he's removed the Jarls who would oppose him from power, thus they can't opposed him in the Moot. Now all the Jarls are either his allies, or people who he put in power by removing the old Jarls. How do you think they'll vote? Of course they'll all vote him High King, the Moot is at this point a farce, a joke, a charade. And even if they weren't his puppets, the Jarls won't dare vote against him. He just wiped the Empire out in Skyrim, what Jarl would dare oppose him? I believe he's power-hungry, but he's not an idiot. Now, all the Jarls who vote at the Moot are in his pocket. He'll get a uninimous vote and be crowned High King. Like rigging an election.
