The state of Oregon is literally driving residents away with its progressive policies.
On Tuesday, thousands of residents from rural counties in the Beaver State voted for their elected officials to consider seceding from the state and becoming part of conservative neighbor Idaho.
Disgruntled voters in Sherman, Lake, Grant, Baker, and Malheur counties voted in favor of the proposition, joining two other counties — Union and Jefferson — that already approved the move during the November election, the Idaho Statesman reported.
With the majority of constituents voting in favor of the resolution, county commissioners in each of the seven counties are now reportedly tasked with meeting together to discuss moving forward with the measure.
The push is part of larger initiative called “Greater Idaho,” which aims to relocate as many as 22 Oregon counties to a state that more accurately represents them politically.
Good for them very smart move
