I'm not sure but I believe this is a known problem with which the CP staff is continuously working on.
For example in the post for the last change that was made on the voting system (see here[^]) Chris mentioned:

Chris Maunder wrote:

So while up-voting is great in that it rewards authors and gives readers a way to say thanks, up-votes are bad when the up-votes are not votes based on the technical merit of an article but instead based on being the author's friend, family or colleague. Make it 50 friends, family members or colleagues and the vote for a given article is hopelessly invalid.
