#1 I wouldn't be surprised if a number of Eastern Washington counties joined them.

Only the costal and Puget Sound areas are 'blue'. Well perhaps Spokane too..

#2 I believe the title of article is incorrect. This is not secession. The counties in question are petitioning to have the borders of Idaho redrawn. The counties voted in favor on average of 62%. That is stunning. Idaho Gov and legislature is all on board. These 5 counties join 2 others who have already approved. Next phase to bring in all other Oregon counties. Eventually, Northern California counties are to be considered as well. Greater Idaho Movement!

#3 They'll never be let go. Leftists would rather eat broken glass than hand the Right any kind of victory. Democracy? Self-determination? Shut up. Look for this issue to be censored on Facebook/Twitter/Youtube soon.

#4 As it stands, this will also require congressional approval (which it won't get with this current crop of failures) and the state governing body would have to approve as well (fat chance).

If they really wanted to make a statement, they would send all state tax revenue to Idaho, have the Idaho state patrol come in and do normal operations, adopt Idaho constitution and put welcome to Idaho on the new borders.

#6 /\ See - West Virginia... This will be the counter offer to "Make Washington, DC a state" and likely help kill that silly proposal. ("Silly" because the obvious solution is to follow precedent and invoke the Retrocession of most of the District to Maryland)

#7 Wiki State of Jefferson. The same frustration runs along the eastern counties of the Peoples Republic of Klowniphornia.
I quit hoping and moved to Nevada.
