Two additional Oregon counties vote to become part of 'Greater Idaho'

Two more eastern Oregon counties have reportedly voted in favor of the Greater Idaho movement.

Its purpose is to convince state legislatures to move the Oregon-Idaho border, turning conservative counties of Oregon into counties of Idaho.

In a Wednesday news release, the movement said it had seen victory in Morrow and Wheeler counties, clinching 60% and 58% of the votes as of that morning, respectively.

ts website showed May election results in all three counties that voted on the issue had improved by 4 percentage points after election night due to the slow counting in the state's elections and the tendency of proponents to vote on Election Day.

OREGON GUN CONTROL BALLOT MEASURE STILL TO CLOSE TO CALL

The Greater Idaho movement noted that it has already won elections in 11 of the 15 counties that are proposed to join the state —and that it has enough signatures to get on the ballot in Wallowa County.

It argued that it does not need votes in every county, because the election results show that any eastern Oregon county would approve the measure.

Portlandia isn't ever going to want these taxpayers to go and I see that the gun control measure is still being jacked by them - the latter is beyond unconstitutional, and will be ruled as such if it ever passes.

Yes, but it is possible. Totally Consitutional.

Maybe the lefties of Oregon will go for it in the good riddance type of thing.

Oregon has its own iron curtain. You can’t escape because socialist and communist need people like a rancher needs cattle.

There are only 2 or 3 counties in Kansas that cause most of the liberal grief in the state. Can the rest of us vote to throw them into Missouri?

Always remember that the walls the left supports are there to keep people IN. No sane individual wants to live in the standard issue leftist Porn/woke/wimpoid/fail-O-topia.

Would that 60/40 Kansas pro-abortion vote have changed in your scenario?

We are sick of being rulled by leftist governments which are voted in by mentally ill people.

This is like Texas succession.
Lots of talk, not much possibility of actually happening.

Could that ever happen? Is it a real path.

If the best (or worst, depending on your perspective) case scenario in that map doesn’t leave much left of Oregon. Seems like the rest of Oregon should get annexed into Washington, since (perhaps) their politics are more amicable with each other. The lefties would never want to lose the 2 seats in the Senate though.

The counties that wanna leave can’t afford to leave either. They have to pay big money to leave or Idaho would have to pay it and Idaho Doesn’t have the money to pay for it either. so basically nobody’s going anywhere.

We don’t need Kansas libs in Missouri, maybe we could give Kansas City MO to Kansas. Then there would only be one Kansas City.

This is the same as Michigan, we need to give the greater Detroit area to Canada.

Eastern WA might want to join eastern OR in Idaho. I doubt anyone is going anywhere.
