13th Oregon County Votes to Join 'Greater Idaho' Movement
The Greater Idaho Movement, led by Executive Director Matt McCaw, seeks to shift Oregon's border 200 miles west to join Idaho, reflecting the conservative values of Eastern Oregonians. This grassroots effort aims to address the cultural and political divide between the more liberal, urban western Oregon and the conservative, rural eastern Oregon, exacerbated by differing responses to issues like the COVID-19 pandemic. The movement has gained traction, winning support in 13 eastern Oregon counties.
