I think the thing is that there are a bunch of summer homes on that side of the lake but the tip of the penisula has a very low population. Thats my guess anyway. Still if thats the case you would still thing milwaukee would get the whole penisula and the bite they take out of the mitten would be made smaller.
One could use population as the generator weight.
Perhaps for all incorporated cities/towns/whatever then do a higher order application to group those.
This attempt actually looks half-decent. Though northern Idaho is going to lose its mind having to be governed by Seattle.

I like the chicago teapot but seems wierd detroit has part of the penisula and then milwaukee has part across the lake.
They should trade that blue tip of the UP to Milwaukee, and in exchange Detroit gets all of the mitten.
