Ringleader of Greater Idaho Movement reveals why Oregon counties want to secede and join the Gem State

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The leader of a group of Oregonians who are determined to leave the state has revealed why they want to escape its liberal policies by joining Idaho.

Matt McCaw is the executive director of the movement to shift the border of Oregon 200 miles to the left, which is called The Greater Idaho Movement.

The proposal seeks to move the Oregon border so that 14 counties and several partial counties would fall under Idaho state lines.

McCaw said the movement was created to bridge the growing 'tug of war' in the Pacific Northwestern state.

'The state of Oregon is divided geographically by the Cascade Mountain Range and that geographic divide is also a huge cultural divide,' McCaw told Fox News.

#1 I don’t think you can Constitutionally reapportion territory between states.

#2 I dunno. Urban areas are big on appropriating neighboring political subdivisions, why shouldn't it be allowed at the state level?

#4 Ringleader - no bias at the DM at all no no.

Could always troll and cite Brandon's Partitioning of Iraq as concept.

#5 I am not saying it’s right; I just don’t think the law supports defections between states. The West Virginia deal was backed up by law. It would be legal if Congress did something, but currently most legislation is drafted by lobbyists so grassroots stuff is unlikely to get anywhere unless a bunch of bad people see a way to get paid.

#6 ^This. But it's like an independence movement in a European country. There never really going to let Catalonia leave Spain. But if you meme it hard enough, you can get concessions out of them.
