2020年12月四级阅读的一个句子：

In pursuit of revealing this complicated reality, Mothering Justice, led by women of color, went last year to the state capital in Lansing, Michigan.

疑问点是the state capital in Lansing, Michigan。Michigan（密歇根）州的首府就是Lansing兰辛。capital的英英字典意思就是“a city in which the main offices of a government are located”。所以我认为这个in不对，应该是the state capital of Michigan, Lansing。我查了英文报刊的原文，原文就是the state capital in Lansing, Michigan。请问英语表达中是不是存在这种不严谨的现象，个人表达自由度比较大。
