Similar humor?
When they voted in the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia, Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) and his challenger Thomas Kutschaty (SPD) joked about the correct folding of the ballot paper.
"But it's difficult to fold so that nobody can see anything," said Kuchaty in Essen.
The folding technique was also an issue for Prime Minister Wüst in Rhede.
A dpa photo reporter reported that Wüst reacted with a laugh.
In the federal elections last autumn, the former CDU candidate for chancellor and former Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Armin Laschet, did not fold his ballot paper correctly - and received a lot of malice for it.

Update from May 15, 1:33 p.m
.: The polling stations close at 6 p.m. this Sunday – an exciting point in the NRW election 2022. After that, the counting of the votes cast begins.
The provisional official result is not expected until early Monday morning.
But until then: election night feeling!
All election parties start early on Sunday evening, with “Anne Will” top politicians debating the election from 10 p.m.
For example, based on the forecasts (based on surveys, for example also in the polling stations).
Or the first projections (based on the votes already counted).
The interim results, which are published again and again from 6 p.m., are the fodder for the thrill of those interested in politics.
In the last polls before the election, Wüst's CDU was just ahead of the SPD.
However, the current governing party, the FDP, will make heavy losses.
Thus, Wüst would need a new coalition partner.
There are several ways to do this - depending on the outcome of the election.
An exciting election night is ahead.
