    Default Secession in the Pacific Northwest? Some Oregon residents petition to join Idaho

    Frustrated by liberal policies, some Oregon residents petitioned to leave the state – by moving the border with Idaho westward.

    The movement secured initial approval from two counties and aims to get enough signatures to put the proposal on ballots in November, according to the group called Greater Idaho.

    If the group succeeds, voters in southeast Oregon may see a question on whether their county should become part of Idaho by redrawing the border.

    “Rural counties have become increasingly outraged by laws coming out of the Oregon Legislature that threaten our livelihoods, our industries, our wallet, our gun rights, and our values,” Mike McCarter, one of the chief petitioners, said in a news release. “We tried voting those legislators out, but rural Oregon is outnumbered and our voices are now ignored. This is our last resort.”

    The same thing has been happening in California for many decades. I see California as the same as it was. This will not happen,. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partit..._in_California
