Carson camp mixes up states on map
New Englanders might take issue with how Ben Carson views their homes.
When his campaign posted a map Tuesday night to social media promoting the states where governors have pushed back against accepting Syrian refugees, its entire Northeast region was inaccurate.
{mosads}The map has since been taken down on social media channels and replaced by a corrected one, but news website Fusion took a screenshot of the campaign’s first attempt.

On the original map, Connecticut and Rhode Island have taken the place of New Hampshire beside Vermont. Massachusetts sits above those mismatched states, with New Hampshire and Maine above that.
In Carson’s map, Vermont also gets a bump in real estate prices, with a fair portion of it now on the Atlantic Coast.
Carson has agreed with the predominately Republican governors that America should not be accepting Syrian refugees.
While it’s likely only a mistake by the graphics team, the miscue came just hours after a foreign policy adviser criticized Carson’s foreign policy chops.
