The tweet and the Facebook post were both taken down after the campaign was made aware of the map error.
In the map posted by Carson's campaign, Connecticut and Rhode Island were moved to the northeast border of the country, with New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine moved farther north of those states.
There was no explanation from Carson’s camp, but a Vox story suggested that the error likely happened when the graphic designer accidentally shifted part of the map as it was being created.
Of course, social media had a field day with the mistake.
Carson’s campaign may need to concentrate on the state of New Hampshire, in particular. A Fox News poll released Wednesday showed Carson falling to fourth place in that state's Republican primary race.
