On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho.  The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.

    Can we merge Idaho with the rest of the Midwest? It’d be pretty fucking sweet to have less GOP senators.

      They wouldn’t want that if course.

      However, of they do this, then they would likely make an argument for reallocating electors…

        It would reallocate electors as well as congressional seats. Those are both based on population and are already realloated every 10 years.

          Ah didn’t bother to look it up, thanks for the clarification.

          Though the congressional seats will be a wash, since I’m sure the existing districts already are red.
