Hi.

This library uses the Admin 1 – States, Provinces from Natural Earth Data, with all state polygons in GeoJSON format. Polygons are not precise and not as accurate as we would like.

In this particular case, you can see the problem here, the blue polygon represents the GeoJSON used to get the info, and the coordinates are outside the polygon:

Feel free to do a PR with more precise polygons.

Best regards.
