The Greater Idaho movement — a conservative effort to have eastern Oregon secede from the blue state and join Idaho — got a major nod of support last week from lawmakers in the red state.
Members of Idaho’s House of Representatives voted in favor of a bill that would open up talks between Idaho and Oregon about relocating the boundary line that separates the two western states. The development marks a step forward for the Greater Idaho movement, which says rural Oregon is more similar to Idaho politically, economically, and culturally than to the urban areas of their state.
Moving the state boundary line would require the approval of both the Oregon and Idaho legislatures as well as the US Congress.
