Five Oregon counties will ask voters in the next election whether they want to detach from the deep-blue state and join neighboring red-state Idaho.
Move Oregon’s Border, also known as Greater Idaho, confirmed Tuesday that the initiative to move swaths of largely rural eastern and southern Oregon into Idaho qualified for the May 18 special election ballot in five counties: Baker, Grant, Lake, Malheur and Sherman.
In Baker County, organizers far exceeded the 496 signatures required by submitting 746, with the clerk reporting that 630 were accepted. The county population is about 16,000. . . .
He cited the impact of Democratic Gov. Kate Brown’s novel coronavirus restrictions; ongoing Antifa unrest in Portland; a state task force’s unsuccessful effort to prioritize “Black, Indigenous and people of color” for novel coronavirus vaccines, and what he described as the state legislature’s bias in favor of Portland over rural communities. . . .
So far, the Move Oregon’s Borders movement is batting .500. In November, voters in two counties approved measures requiring county commissioners to hold meetings about relocating the state border. Two other counties defeated the measure. . . .
Opponents have said disgruntled rural Oregonians should just move to Idaho, but Mr. McCarter said it isn’t that simple. . . .
Oregon Democrats control the governorship, all state constitutional offices and both houses of the state legislature.
Oregon Senate President Peter Courtney said that the Greater Idaho campaign concerns him, saying, “I hope we’d never look at that.”
“I don’t think we would, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t act like it wouldn’t happen, because if we act like it, then maybe we’ll really sit down and really think real hard about this rural-urban divide,” said Mr. Courtney, a Democrat, in a Dec. 7 interview on KATU-TV. . . .
he group is also reaching out to northern California counties.
Organizers suffered a setback in January when Facebook removed a group page, which had 12,000 followers, as well as those of Mr. McCarter and another administrator. Move Oregon’s Borders still has a presence on Twitter, MeWe, Parler, Gab and Telegram.
“We don’t know why because Facebook won’t show us the six posts it claims violated their standards,” said the press release.

Good for OR!! Their governor listens only to radical goofballs in metro areas and completely ignores the MAJORITY of the population scattered throughout the state. She forces her agenda through regardless of opposition. She obviously sells out to corporate leftists as do the rest of her legislative “puppets” that exercise tyrannical rules and policy. Take one look at Portland – at one time, it “was” a nice city. The governor and state government did NOTHING to help innocent and law abiding citizens and businesses when the riots and chaos took place. But they did help the rioters. The governor sat back, under her 24/7 security protection and acted as if this was just fine. Her ongoing stand on abortion is one of the most radical in the nation. Her refusal to even listen to voters is mind boggling. I support those counties 100% and I hope more would consider. And OR doesn’t need to recall Brown from office – she needs to be removed for her constant violation of OR state laws. She is dangerous to democracy.
Good for those OR counties!! We pray for your success to move to ID. Their left wing governor listens only to radical voices in metro areas and completely ignores the MAJORITY of the population scattered throughout the state.

I understand their grief. California is suffering under tyrannical Governor Newson. We the people of California are recalling this Governor. Could Oregon recall Governor Brown?
Unfortunately last year a recall in Oregon failed, not enough signatures to meet the deadline.
