A total of 13 counties in the eastern part of Oregon have voted to leave Oregon and become part of Idaho.
This
is not impossible. In fact small chunks of states have been moved
around from time to time with no big deal. Two whole STATES have been
created that way, though none within the last 150 years.
The
eastern, more rural part of Oregon is MUCH more conservative than the
west coastal part of the state. It is largely agricultural and their
cultural values clash with the liberal idiots who run the state who
outnumber the "real people" in the rest of the state. Kind of like the
same way that LA and the Bay Area outnumber the rest of California.
Moving
territory from one state to the other is much less problematic than
creating a whole new state. Both states still have to agree but since
it creates no new senators nor does it diddle overly much with the House
of Representatives. I am confident that Idaho would have no problem
with the move. I am less sure how the Oregon bureaucracy feels about
it.
It will be interesting to watch.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Dream on. It ain't a gonna happen.
