Its goal is to convince both the Oregon and Idaho state legislatures, and then the United States Congress, to redraw the boundary between Oregon and Idaho. The goal is to take at least 15 mostly rural, conservative-leaning counties in Eastern Oregon and have them become part of Idaho.

As an Oregonian I don't approve of this idea

I saw a Vice News video on this topic a while back. Thank you bringing more attention to this topic! The urban/rural divide in this country is real!also, this is a terrible idea While rural areas may not like the politics of urban areas, they would be screwed economically without them. Also, rural areas are over represented at the federal level thanks to gerrymandering and the senate.

We have something similar here in Illinois. Chicago holds the purse, but most of the state outside of Chicago cant stand the democrats.

Naterade

It’s the opposite in your neighboring state of Missouri, where I live. St. Louis and Kansas City are the economic drivers of the state, yet they hold no political power thanks to the remaining areas being very conservative and it being less urbanized than Illinois. Income inequality has sadly only made our divisions worst. Inner cities and rural areas have both been neglected economically for a long time and should be united on at least economic issues.

I like the greater Idaho movement im all for them seeking better representation.

Jesse Bakken

I wonder if this for both states would change up the electoral college (...which still sucks, of course).
