Congrats, East Oregon on a mini-win. 47% of those polled wanted to protect their county from Portland politicians

Good for them. Make the system finally work for you vs against you. I will bet there are several cities and townships in my Northern California area interested in doing the same thing. Maps are an arbitrary measuring tool.
They are not permanently fixed forevermore.

Although I live in southern coastal California, I’d love to see this happen in California. I’d love the red part of the state break off into their own. These idiots I live with are completely brain washed, brain dead leftie whack jobs.

...Although I live in southern coastal California, I’d love to see this happen in California. I’d love the red part of the state break off into their own... As a southern Oregonian I would love to re-activate the State of Jefferson movement.
My primary concern is that if we let too many Californians in they are going to bring a sales tax with them.

They should create their own state.

Interesting idea. I’m not familiar with the State of Jefferson movement. I need to read up. And yes to the taxes here. And they really screw with punishing billing tiers on the utilities. It’s a nightmare living here when it comes to taxes and getting nailed EVERYWHERE justified by trying to “control our use.”

1500 YES votes.

I think it’s going to take a heckuva lot more than a referendum to pull off a re-drawing of state boundaries. Those kinds of details were settled before territories applied for statehood.

Nice post - seems the MSM and white liberal ‘elites’ in DC have put a lid on any discussion of the election... they want to move on...

I have a bachelors in economics; I needed an elective so one summer I strayed into an anthropology class. Have to say it was an interesting class. I recall a comment made by the prof that has stayed with me all these years. She said “all borders are temporary”. I took this class about 1969 I believe. Her comment was and is accurate.

I think it’s going to take a heckuva lot more than a referendum to pull off a re-drawing of state boundaries. It will take the approval of both state legislatures and both houses of Congress.
To: blueplum
My only comment is why did it take so long?

The best book on the redistricting of the USA, “38 State USA”, was produced by geographer G.E. Pearcy in the nineteen seventies. It is as valid today as it was then.

So short of ‘Grand Bargain’ like the Election of 1876 in exchange for the end of Reconstruction it pretty much ain’t happening.
