Atlas's Favorite City in the Northeast

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

I have seen other posts like these such as the one on countries and decided to start my own. I am starting a short series of posts in which Atlas decides on their favorite city in each region of the US. Each poll will contain all medium-sized and large cities (population over 200,000) in a certain region. Every state will have at least one city in the poll, so if a state does not have any cities with over 200,000 people, that state will just use its largest city. To avoid clutter (there are over 100 US cities with a population greater than 200,000), the maximum number of cities that a state can have is five.

The first poll lasts for about two days. After that, a runoff vote is held between the top two contenders for a day.

The four regions that I am using are the Northeast, South, Midwest, and West. Here are their boundaries.

The Northeast poll is now open!

Can I just say this is the correct way to define the regions (if you only use four), and anyone who disagrees is wrong?

Yes, but that doesn't mean you're right(OK isn't southern).

I can see what you are saying, but that map ends up looking weird if you put OK in the Midwest.

The only friend I know who has ever been to or lived in Oklahoma (went to middle school in Oklahoma City) is pretty defiant that it is part of the broad region named "The South," even if it is it's own subsection with Texas.

Of course, I think an accurate map of where the regions begin and in would need to involve counties.  A lot of people in far Southern Illinois would absolutely consider themselves Southern, but obviously Illinois isn't even close to Southern.

I sometimes consider Missouri part of the South, but maybe that's just me.

I mean, the thing is parts of it do seem southern, while other parts don't. Like tom said, you really need to go county by county.
