Map Shows Oregon Counties Voting to Join 'Greater Idaho'
Published May 28, 2024 at 6:54 AM EDT
Atotal of 13 Oregon counties have voted to secede from the state and join neighboring Idaho, as part of what supporters have dubbed the "Greater Idaho" project.
On May 21, Crook County backed the plan by 53.4 percent to 46.7 percent, with a total of 9,518 people voting. Greater Idaho advocates argue more conservative rural areas in the east and center of Oregon are being dominated by liberal-leaning cities such as Oregon and Salem, and would be better served by joining Republican-dominated Idaho.
According to the Greater Idaho Movement campaign group, the proposal has now been endorsed by voters in Crook, Wallowa, Union, Baker, Malheur, Grant, Harney, Morrow, Wheeler, Lake, Sherman, Jefferson and Klamath counties.
The group is proposing a Greater Idaho consisting of the entirety of Idaho plus the Oregon counties of Wallowa, Union, Baker, Malheur, Umatilla, Grant, Harney, Morrow, Wheeler, Crooke, Lake, Gilliam and Sherman, along with parts of Wasco, Jefferson, Deschutes and Klamath.
