There is no quorum defined for board elections, so the number of inactive voters doesn't change the results of the election in any way.
But the there is a quorum defined for the membership to mandate changes on the board. With a 25% vote of the membership early elections can be initiated. When 76% of the membership, and I don't think the number is that high yet, are inactive this option is taken away from those that do actively contribute to the project.
Well, I should have looked it up, the quorum for a " mid cycle" board election by membership is 20% not 25%. Anyway, the example is still valid only the numbers change a little bit.
