Get everything east of the Cascades in Washington as well......except maybe Spokane.

eta..Actually I think expelling Portland and Seattle and letting them be their own little city states would be better

If you live in Oregon and are in support of this please contact your Stare Reps. The organizers are trying to get a resolution introduced and onto the flloor. A State resolution would only require official negotiation to start with Idaho's Legislature

Having lived in both western and eastern Washington, just divide Oregon and Washington with a North-South line, rather than an East-West line. Down the Cascades would do fine.

Same number of states.

Been posted here several times over the last couple of years. It’s not gonna get anywhere. Way too many hurdles for it to happen.

Regardless of how residents vote, to actually change the states' borders would require lawmakers in Oregon, Idaho and U.S. Congress to sign off on it.

They can make new states, but leave Idaho as Idaho. We really don't need more people from OR and WA. The less-insane parts of those states can eject the big cities and do their own thing if they want.

This isn't anything new, you had the State of Jefferson movement back before WWII. Various secession movements within states to leave and join other states, etc....

I support it in the simple principle that people should have the right to be represented. The rural areas feel underrepresented and they are. But people make up a state not dirt and trees. Thus the rural populations want to secede and form Greater Idaho.

Dirt and trees don't make up a state. People do. The majority of the population of Oregon is urban, not rural. Thus, the state government reflects that. If you go back far enough, libs moved to California during and soon after the Great Depression and started the downward trend.

The US was balkanized at its inception. We were never one single nation, but a union of nation states that formed a government together to win a war of independence and to grow economically and provide protection to one another from outside threats. After we won our independence and stated expansion, we balkanized even more over slave owning support or non support. With the Louisiana purchase, we went further into those territories by compromising and adding one free state for every slave state. We are not one nation, and the quicker we get back to functioning like that, the sooner we can get back to the constitution, because that's what the constitution spells out.

We are not going to get better as a nation until we strip away power from the liberal communists. The way to do that under our system of government is by population adjustment, by forming new states from old one, making the rural areas larger in population, and reducing the commie population's control. This is the only way forward, other than a civil war at some point, or a revolution, of course not by our side, but as always, by the communists as they try to overthrow the constitution by force.

We only have two realistic options when everything is controlled by the commies in the federal government and many state governments.

If you took a line that is about 30 miles east of Interstate 5 from the Canadian border south to about 50 miles south of Eugene, Oregon, you could make that the liberal Oregon/Washington.  The remainder of both states are much more conservative and would probably vote to go with greater Idaho/Jefferson (with the exception of Deschutes County around Bend, Oregon).

The positive sales pitch for this happening is "All those people moving from OR to ID that you hate? Yeah, they'll stay put because now they would be free of OR politics/taxes/etc. without having to relocate." So, if letting them be ID residents without crowding our traffic and messing with our housing market = yeah, that's a benefit.
Further, the pitch purports that the people that vote to leave OR are probably not Portland liberals – they like the mess they've created. Idaho gets more tax dollars and a bigger voting block without crowding the existing borders. Hooray, say some.

The negative side pitch back: you've got to figure: Yeah, it'll probably prevent some people from moving to crowd up ID, but next few elections, there's no way all those Oregonians were salt-of-the-earth conservatives. Perhaps a majority because they otherwise wouldn't have voted to leave, right? Mmmm... maybe. But the trapped liberals in those counties will immedately start voting anti-Idaho values and tip things wrong for the whole state in a few years. Boo say some.

It's an interesting experiment. My family is mostly ID native, not sure where I stand.

And then Spokane and Bend become the cities that rule the roost. With the Hispanic vote it becomes a purple state at best. Still better than the current situation though.

I agree with most of which you stated. However, the vote cheating, i.e. stuffing ballot boxes, counting votes for weeks after an election, Dominion vote cheating machines, etc. must be addressed, too.

AIUI, The Constitution says that both Congress and the State Legislature must consent to any alterations to a State’s territory.   The Counties don’t get a say.

So it’s unlikely to happen.
