Perhaps I am being overly cynical, but I suspect that bad articles get voted up by people who have posted snarky comments, in hopes that more people will read the article and agree with them on how bad it is.
Of course, this wouldn't explain the current score (more upvotes than posters), so perhaps some of the votes are from trolls, accidental clicks, people who only read titles, people who think the article is ironically amusing, or people who want to draw attention to bad content in hopes that mechanisms are put in place for its banning/removal.
