7 Oregon counties have voted to join ‘Greater Idaho’ – By Amy Graff (SF Gate) / May 20 2021
A movement to change the map of Idaho to include rural, conservative counties in eastern and southern Oregon and far Northern California is growing.
The grassroots group “Move Oregon’s Border For a Greater Idaho” has rallied seven of Oregon’s 36 counties to vote in favor of considering becoming part of Idaho.
Sherman, Lake, Grant, Baker and Malheur counties voted on May 18 in favor of the measure that requires county officials to discuss moving the Idaho border west. There were five counties on the ballot and none voted against the measure, with an average of 62% in favor.
In November, four counties were the first to consider the measure. Jefferson and Union approved it and Wallowa and Douglas were against.
