The initiative, known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idahostatesman.com\/news\/northwest\/idaho\/article249452010.html\">Move Oregon\u2019s Borders<\/a>, confirmed Tuesday that the push to extend Idaho\u2019s lines into parts of rural eastern and southern Oregon will be on some counties\u2019 ballots for an upcoming special election.<\/p>\n<p>Baker, Grant, Lake, Malheur and Sherman Counties will vote on the initiative, which is also known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/klewtv.com\/news\/local\/move-oregons-border-for-a-greater-idaho-initiative-to-appear-on-may-ballot\">Greater Idaho Project<\/a>, on May 18. President of the Move Oregon\u2019s Borders Initiative Mike McCarter cited Governor Kate Brown (D-Ore.) and the state legislature\u2019s bias in favor of Democrat-run areas, like Portland, over rural communities.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2378894\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2378894\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2378894 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-781263-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Republican Party's elephant symbol is seen on display October 24, 2000 at the Republican campaign headquarters in El Paso, Texas.

(Photo by Joe Raedle\/Newsmakers)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cMore than 75 percent of the population and the legislators are in the Willamette Valley,\u201d McCarter stated. \u201cSo they\u2019re passing their drug laws \u2014 or should I say lack of laws and justice going on there. They\u2019re passing their tax and spend issues, their homeless, their illegals, their Antifa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCarter said the organization submitted over 140 percent of the signatures required to get the measure on ballots in those counties. He added the objective of the vote is not to secede from Oregon, but to call on county commissioners to work towards the process of extending Idaho\u2019s borders to expand across the 19 counties the organization hopes to include.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis issue goes back to the founding of this country about people that don\u2019t think that they\u2019re being represented,\u201d\u00a0 (R-Idaho) said. \u201cBecause of the changing demographic of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In order for the initiative to go through, ballot measures would need to pass, Oregon and Idaho legislators would create a contract, and Congress would need to vote for approval. McCarter added the organization does not wish for Idaho\u2019s name to change, but said they just want to be part of the state they feel represents them.<\/p>\n<p>Slivers of Northern California and southeastern Washington could potentially be added to the measure. State lines have not been changed or extended in over a century, but if the initiatives go through Congress, Idaho could have a coastline.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mike-lindell-on-dominion-lawsuit-what-are-you-hiding\/\">Mike Lindell On Dominion Lawsuit: What Are You Hiding?<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274300,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1230604228-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Report: 5 Ore. counties vote on leaving state, residents want to detach from deep blue state and join Greater Idaho","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-177048","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/GettyImages-1230604228-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Report: 5 Ore. counties vote on leaving state, residents want to detach from deep blue state and join Greater Idaho","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177048","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177048"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177048\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2274300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177048"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177048"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177048"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
