Ballot


Radical Combination


Meaning

Ballot

Mnemonic

You have to fly in a helicopter and use a jackhammer to punch your ballot. The helicopter gets you far away from prying eyes, and the jackhammer makes you really try for whoever you're voting for on that thing. It's foolproof!

Imagine trying to fill out your ballot while flying in a helicopter and using only a jackhammer to do it. Do you think you could do it? Do you think you could do it AND vote for the right person?

Mnemonic

While using the jackhammer on the ballot, the helicopter pilot keeps yelling “Heyo (ひょう), don't mess up! Heyo! Watch out, don't let me see!” as he flies the helicopter all over the place.

You're starting to think this method of filling out ballots is rigged.
