I'm sure some will for sure.
Some are. We've been fighting this for years.
Nope, we're trying to become Greater Idaho. A very large section, something like 19 counties have voter approval of this already. Benefits Idaho and counties in Oregon California. If Idaho doesn't help with this, they'll become a blue state soon. Boise, Pocatello, and CDA are already blue. Could be as soon as the next gubernatorial race.
That would be amazing
Interesting that nobody has asked the voters in Idaho if they want Oregon to become part of our state. I think most would not. Secession is probably the better "answer" to Oregon's dilemma.
Unlikely true. Zero chance? We'll see. With states reposition the number of representatives they have I can see this be a viable alternative.
of all voter eligible residents are registered to vote. The state also lays claim to having the highest voter turnout in presidential election years averaging 80.8% while the US as a whole averages 56.2%. If you add the 25.8% illegitimate registered voters to the national average of 56.2% turnout you get 82% almost the exact turnout claimed by the state. Hmm makes me think this state may have a ghost voter problem.I will be furious if this passes, but we need to stay and fight. Otherwise, we're just handing over this incredible state to a bunch of idiots who don't realize they'll starve if everyone became vegetarians overnight. Wait...maybe that's the solution!!I've mentioned Oregon has been planning on banning hunting, fishing, and trapping on this forum before and this issue is high on the list of reasons why folks on the east side (and some on the west) want to skedaddle. This helps explain why Oregon's population has lost a net 30,000 residents since 2021 as well and I suspect a lot of them up and moved to Idaho.
Unfortunately, the state constitution gives control of redrawing state lines to congress and the "D's" have a 5/8th super majority in the house and senate.
So with the current situation in state congress the greater Idaho plan is going no where and in fact the Governor has refused to open discussions for 572 days.
It's not all bad news though, the state was sued by Judicial Watch and lost after they found 800,000 illegitimate registered voters on the rolls which the state is now required to remove. That is 25.8% of the total registered voters in this state which also claims 93.5%
While it is true similar measures have failed to get enough signatures to get on the ballot this one currently is only ~29K short with many months left for gathering. If this measure somehow does get on the ballot, passes, and is signed into law you can add my name to the list of ex-Oregonians.
