The Greater Idaho movement proposed a more modest map on Tuesday after two counties in southwest Oregon voted against a ballot initiative last week to join Idaho.
The movement, which began in February 2020, wants to allow Oregon residents who feel like they have more in common with Idahoan values to join the state.
I understand the frustration of some of my Oregon friends about the rules, the laws, the regulations that are coming out of Oregon, but thats really a decision thats got to be made there, Idaho Gov. Brad Little said shortly after the movement was announced.
The initial plan was for 22 of Oregons 36 counties to join Idaho, according to previous Idaho Statesman reporting, stretching Idahos border all the way west to the Pacific Ocean.
