Daily Mail Reports: Thirteen fed-up counties in liberal Oregon have voted in support of measures to start negotiations to secede from the state and join conservative Idaho.
Crook County became the latest to approve the 'Greater Idaho Measure' following a vote on Tuesday.
The proposal seeks to move the Oregon border 200 miles to the west, meaning that 14 counties and several partial counties would fall under Idaho state lines.
Organizers behind the Greater Idaho movement say east Oregonians are being alienated by the state's progressive policies which they blame for high crime rates.
They claim a move to Idaho would allow residents to take advantage of lower taxation and provide better representation and governance.

When insanity takes over an area, the sane do not want to pay for it or be governed by it. We're going to see cities and counties trying to leave states and suburbs trying to leave Metros. I am surprised that the counties of Eastern Washington were not included in this.
