'carried? that's something else again' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'hacks even tell vote' is the wordplay.
'hacks' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'hacking' mean this).
'vote' becomes 'x' (how votes are marked).
'even'+'tell'+'x'='eventellx'
'eventellx' is an anagram of 'NEXT LEVEL'.

'is' is the link.
