Choose $w\ge 1$ maximal such that $wm\le n$ for the displayed $m$, and take the OR of $m$ AND blocks of size $w$, ignoring unused coordinates. Its failure probability is $(1-2^{-w}{)}^m$, between one quarter and three quarters. Active coordinates have influence $2^{1-w}(1-2^{-w}{)}^{m-1}$ and unused ones have zero influence. Maximality gives $2^{1-w}<4(\log 2)(w+1)/n$; for $n\ge 2$, $w\le {\log }_{2}n$, so every influence is below $8\log n/n$. The construction is therefore a quite fair Boolean function with small influences for every $n\ge 2$. The logarithmic bound cannot hold at $n=1$, where every quite fair function has influence one.

A Boolean function takes each vector of bits to either zero or one. Use independent uniform input bits; the influence of a variable is the probability that flipping that bit changes the value. A quite fair Boolean function has $1/4\le \mathbb{E}f\le 3/4$. All logarithms in the estimates below are natural, except where a base is explicitly written.

Here is a balanced tribes construction with unused coordinates valid for every $n\ge 2$. For each $w\ge 1$ put $m_w=\lfloor (\log 2)2^w\rfloor$, and choose the largest $w$ with $w{m}_w\le n$. Partition $w{m}_w$ of the bits into $m=m_w$ blocks of size $w$. Let $f$ be one when at least one block is all ones, and ignore the other bits. This is a tribes function. With $s=2^{-w}$, its zero probability is $(1-s{)}^m$.

For $w=1$ the function is a single bit and has mean $1/2$. For $w\ge 2$, $ms\le \log 2$ and $ms\ge \log 2-s$. The elementary inequalities $-s/(1-s)\le \log (1-s)\le -s$ giveThus both output probabilities are between one quarter and three quarters.

A used bit is pivotal exactly when the other $w-1$ bits of its block are one and every other block fails. Hence its influence is $2^{1-w}(1-2^{-w}{)}^{m-1}\le 2^{1-w}$; unused bits have zero influence. Maximality of $w$ gives $n<(w+1)m_{w+1}\le (w+1)(\log 2)2^{w+1}$. Also $w\le {\log }_{2}n$ for $n\ge 2$: this is immediate for $w=1$, while for $w\ge 2$ one has $w{m}_w\ge 2^w$. ThereforeThis proves the requested existence with room in the constant. The dimension-one boundary case cannot satisfy the printed logarithmic bound: a quite fair function of one bit is nonconstant and has influence one, whereas $10\log 1=0$. Thus the statement requires the usual nontrivial range $n\ge 2$ (or its intended large-$n$ interpretation).
