*shrug* I don't care about quorums :) We could trivially deal with quorums by saying: "The quorum is met if Q ballots are received from distinct voters. If quorum is not met, the default option wins." We already check that there's enough support to bother considering anything by requiring seconds, we check that it's popular by condorcet criteria, we check it's not objectionable by supermajority requirements; the point of a quorum is to check that the vote hasn't been done without anyone hearing about it...
