Will Shortz' Sunday puzzler today is very easy for people with tools.

Stuff the ballot box! Solve it (took me about 10 seconds on the command line) and maybe one of us will win!

If I had to guess, I would have guessed that flying lawnmowers were more common over here in the US. But I would have been wrong!
