Chris Paul election photo fools John Krasinski

Tuesday was midterm election day in the United States, and Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul was among those encouraging people to get out and vote.

John Krasinski, best known as Jim Halpert from "The Office," did his part too, asking his Twitter followers to send him selfies with their "I Voted" stickers. However, he failed to realize that one of the selfies he retweeted from a user named Vinny was actually a picture of Paul and his wife, Jada.

After his followers explained the prank to him, Krasinski sent out a follow-up tweet acknowledging the mistake.
