Ben Carson's campaign made a map of America. 5 states are in the wrong place.

Ben Carson wants to become the leader of the United States, but, as it turns out, he — or at least his campaign — doesn't appear to know the correct location of all 50 states he'd like to lead. What's wrong with this map?

Last time we checked, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine are actually about 150 miles southwest of where Carson's campaign placed them. The map debuted in a tweet from Carson's official Twitter account Tuesday night showing his support for the "31 Governors that are working to keep our nation safe" by promising to block Syrian refugees from entering their states.

Carson's campaign did not respond to The Washington Post's request for comment, and the post has since been deleted.
