Oregon counties vote to secede to Idaho
By Reid Wilson - 05/19/21 12:10 PM EDT

Voters in five rural Oregon counties approved measures on Tuesday to consider joining the state of Idaho, a part of a long-shot grassroots movement to break with a state dominated by liberal voters west of the Cascade Mountains.

Voters in Malheur, Sherman, Grant, Baker and Lake counties all approved measures that would require county officials to take steps to promote moving the Idaho border west to incorporate their populations.

Oregon voters favored President Biden over former President Donald Trump by a 56 percent to 40 percent margin in 2020, but voters in those five rural counties gave between 69 percent and 79 percent of the vote to Trump.


They join two other rural counties — Jefferson and Union — whose voters approved measures promoting a move to Idaho last year.

I seriously doubt any state is going to allow its established borders to be shifted in favor of another state. There's only one way to solve the problems of urban leftist rule, move outside their direct reach while your property is still worth something.

A near impossibility. Even here the big cities tend to dominate the state wrt politics and law.

Not "peacefully", anyway.
But the "peaceful times" in America may soon be reaching their end...
