Some rural Oregonians are so frustrated by Democratic politics they want to leave the state.
But not by moving elsewhere.
Instead, a group is seeking to change the map itself, so that most of Oregon and a chunk of Northern California would break off and join Idaho, a Republican-majority state. "Move Oregon's Border For a Greater Idaho" succeeded in getting petitions approved for circulation in two rural Oregon counties this month.
This is only the latest separatist cause in Pacific Northwest history to spark popular interest, despite being practically infeasible for a long list of legal, political and economic reasons.

The Dakotas are looking for a population boom to justify them being two separate states. That's a possibility. Ha!

I guess my response would be that they can vote with their feet and move to Idaho, if that is their wish. Plenty of land available.
Otherwise, be the agent of change and use the power of persuasion to influence events in Salem.
Too many people are willing to give up.
