Another rural county has voted to break off from blue-state Oregon and join its red-state neighbor by reconfiguring the state border, the latest victory for the grassroots movement called Greater Idaho.

Greater Idaho seeks to relocate 15 eastern Oregon counties to Idaho. Eleven of the 15 counties had approved ballot measures in support of exploring or enacting the proposal as of Jan. 11, 2023. Image courtesy Greater Idaho.

Mike McCaw, Greater Idaho executive director, said the “voters of eastern Oregon have spoken loudly and clearly about their desire to see border talks move forward.” “Last year in the Wallowa County vote, Portland groups outspent Greater Idaho over 4-1,” said Greater Idaho. “The movement suspects the same was true this year.”
