TL;DR Summary

A movement called Move Oregon's Border is advocating for shrinking Oregon and expanding Idaho by pushing the urban, Blue parts of Oregon into a smaller state and creating a more expansive Idaho with the rural, Red parts. The movement has gained support from several counties in Eastern Oregon, with 12 counties voting in favor so far. While Idaho is open to discussions, Oregon has been hesitant. Opposition from a Portland non-profit argues that the move would lead to tax increases and wage cuts. Changing the border would require agreement from both states and approval from the U.S. Congress.
