Strange ratings

I would like to ask you about the ratings for this Slovakian TV movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3194762/ 

It is a bit strange that the majority of lvotes are coming from United States. It had about 10-12 user votes last spring, then suddenly jumped to more than 200 in the summer (this also happened to one old show from Czechoslovakia but it has been corrected since then and the old numbers are back).  Could you guys look into it? Because it seems a bit strange. Thank you for your time and attention.

Hello DK91,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our voting system already detects and defeats attempts to stuff the ballot and skew the rating, as demonstrated by the difference between the weighted average and the arithmetic mean on the vast majority of titles in the database.
