How about this: if a vote shows unusually high or low turnout, adjust
the quorum for the next vote in the appropriate direction. [And leave
it there till the active voting record indicates a further change is
needed.] Thus, you set the initial quorum then let activity rather than
membership dictate the changes.

[For better or worse, this roughly approximates our current practice.]

Also, if fraud ever turns up, prohibit those responsible from further
voting and provide a mechanism to transform the decisions from votes
whose integrity is suspect to suggestions rather than requirements,
while trying to clean up the damage. [Hopefully, this event will never
occur.]
