Showed up to vote, but was not allowed

My HOA has been very elusive about where and when meetings will be held. Finally, though, I got actual notice of an upcoming meeting. We weren’t given a lot of advance notice and the meeting was to be held the week of Christmas, so it didn’t seem like they wanted high turn out. The notice said we would vote on the budget and vote on our board members. When I showed up to the meeting, I was told that the bylaws state that unless a supermajority of the members show up and vote, the budget automatically passes, so there was no vote allowed. Next, we were told that there is a minimum quota to vote on board members. Since not enough homeowners had shown up, the board members would be appointed, and again there would be no vote. I feel very cheated. They set the meeting for a time most people won’t attend, then they announce that all votes are cancelled due to low attendance, and the HOA is now free to pass any budget unrestricted and appoint board members to represent us. Very unfair.
