'It would make far more sense to get that government from Idaho,' said an advocate for relocating some 400,000 Oregonians into Idaho.
An Idaho group is making a strong push to relocate the state's border with Oregon, that if successful could lead to some 400,000 Oregonians becoming taxpayers in their neighboring state.
Greater Idaho has been putting out ballot measures since 2020 and touts strong polling for relocating boundary lines,it"promotes the idea of creating a greater Idaho so that conservative counties can become a part of a red state." It has also referred to the border line established 163 years ago as"outdated," citing a"cultural divide."
"Eastern Oregon is far more similar to Idaho in almost every way than it is to western Oregon. It doesn't make any sense to be getting the state-level government from the state of Oregon, who feels very differently on almost every issue. It would make far more sense to get that government from Idaho."
They include differences based on geography, climate change, economies, values, culture and voting preferences among a group of people"smashed together" due to an imaginary line, he added
