13th Oregon County Votes to Join 'Greater Idaho'

Crook County's decision reflects growing support for secession among conservative regions in eastern Oregon.

Crook County voted 53% in favor of joining Idaho, becoming the 13th county to support the 'Greater Idaho' movement.
The movement aims to shift Idaho's border 200 miles west, incorporating 14 full and 3 partial counties from Oregon.
Proponents argue that conservative eastern Oregon's interests are better aligned with Idaho's governance.
Approval from both state legislatures and the U.S. Congress is required for the border change to occur.
The movement has gained traction since 2020, driven by political and cultural divides within Oregon.
