13th conservative Oregon county approves measure to secede and join 'Greater Idaho'

[NYPOST] Another right-leaning county in eastern Oregon has voted to secede from the Democrat-run state and join neighboring Idaho, according to reports.

Crook County residents passed the measure by a 53% majority Tuesday, making it the 13th county in the state to sign onto the movement known as "Greater Idaho," NewsNation reported.

"The voters of eastern Oregon have spoken loudly and clearly about their desire to see border talks move forward," said the Greater Idaho movement’s executive director Matt McCaw.

"With this latest result in Crook County, there’s no excuse left for the Legislature and Governor to continue to ignore the people’s wishes."

#1 ...there’s no excuse left for the Legislature and Governor to continue to ignore the people’s wishes."

Then they will create an excuse. Or maybe a few dozen.

#2 Next civil war won't be between Red/Blue states. It will be blue urban areas vs everyone else. I suspect a lot of state boundaries will be altered in the end.

#3 /\ Democratically controlled 'city states.' Perhaps that is the goal.

#4 After the 17th Amendment ended state selection of U.S. Senators (Federalist No. 62. George Mason argued that state legislative selection gave states the power of self-defense against the federal government.) the Electoral College is all that ensures every state has a political voice. If the communists ever succeed in disestablishing it, the entire nation will become a tax plantation to serve the 40 urban sumps that are flooded with the feral demokrat base.

#5 In the process of going from a territory to a state, the boundaries get set in stone. I can’t see the Supreme Court taking this up.

#6 If I remember my civics class correctly, Congress establishes a territory to become a state, so therefore the argument can be made that it'll take Congress to establish new state boundaries. Anyone?
