This kind of thing happens all the time in politics--parties are much looser, more ad hoc organizations than people think, and people act as free agents at times when they shouldn't.
This was a bad mistake--a childish, amateurish error, and my guess is Carter will face some sort of consequence. But the memory of the voting population is short. This won't be an issue in three weeks, let alone three years when the next election comes around.
