Oregon counties vote to secede to Idaho

• The Hill

Voters in Malheur, Sherman, Grant, Baker and Lake counties all approved measures that would require county officials to take steps to promote moving the Idaho border west to incorporate their populations. 

Oregon voters favored President Biden over former President Trump by a 56 percent to 40 percent margin in 2020, but voters in those five rural counties gave between 69 percent and 79 percent of the vote to Trump. 

They join two other rural counties — Jefferson and Union — whose voters approved measures promoting a move to Idaho last year.
