'very keen supporter' is the definition.
'devotee' can be an answer for 'supporter' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'very keen' bit.

'voted out on two points' is the wordplay.
'two points' means two substitutions for 'point'.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'point' becomes 'E' (compass point).
'point' becomes 'e' (compass point).
'voted' is an anagram of 'dvote'.
'dvote' going around 'e' is 'devote'.
'devote'+'e'='DEVOTEE'

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
