Yes to 'Greater Idaho': Two more conservative counties in Oregon vote to join neighboring red state
WHEELER COUNTY, OREGON: A group of Republican voters in Eastern and Central Oregon have moved a step closer to becoming part of the state next door, Idaho. Fed up with their liberal lawmakers, voters in two of Oregon's eastern conservative counties, Morrow and Wheeler, voted on Tuesday, November 8, to explore their options to leave the state and join the red state of Idaho instead.
Sixty percent of voters in Morrow County and 58 percent of those in Wheeler County voted yes on a 'Greater Idaho' measure that aims to move Oregon's eastern border, so about half, of the state, becomes part of Idaho, according to Daily Mail. Moreover, 11 of the 15 Oregon counties in this region have voted on initiatives, indicating they are open to joining the neighboring state.
