While many Americans celebrated Independence Day on Sunday, July 4, 2021 in the United States, seven Oregon counties hope that one day, if you decide to travel to the area where they are located, you will be instead visiting Idaho.Seven Counties voted to leave Oregon in favor of IdahoUnion County and Jefferson County voted in favor of secession from Oregon on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. Sherman County, Lake County and Grant County voted in support of Idaho's incorporation into Idaho on Tuesday May 18, 2021. This was in addition to Jefferson County and Jefferson County voting in favor of Idaho becoming part of Idaho. The Idaho border was moved to allow Idaho to expand its jurisdiction over the conservative and rural counties in the eastern and southern Oregon. The average vote in favor of secession was around 62 percent.This election shows that rural Oregon wants to leave Oregon. According to this article, which is posted on the official Internet site of Citizens for Greater Idaho, Mike McCarter, who is the current president, Oregon should believe in liberal values like self-determination. We should all be able to vote for the government officials we like.Citizens for Greater Idaho asserts that Northwestern Oregon is engaging in social experiments. This cultural revolution is something rural counties are not interested in. Both Eastern Oregon and Southern Oregon share American values and cultures. This area votes just like Idaho in national elections. Citizens for Greater Idaho's proposal would place 18 counties from the south and three counties from the east of Oregon under the control of Idaho, instead of Oregon. This would cover 76% of Oregon's land area and 21% percent of Oregon's population. This area has a 2019 population estimate of 873,000 and Idaho has a population of approximately 1.8 million. It would result in an increase of 49% in Idaho's population during phase 1.If the movement to seize southern and eastern Oregon would succeed, Idaho would be the third-largest state in the United States by area.Some of these areas are not the first to seize Oregon. Cascadia is the United States' Pacific Northwest. It includes the province of British Columbia, the United States of America and Canada, as well as parts of Idaho, northern California, Washington, and Washington. The watersheds of Snake River Valleys, Fraser River and Columbia River are the main points of contact.SummaryCascadia is not the only race that was involved in the decision of which region, territory, or district will be the next United States state. The District of Columbia became Washington Douglass Commonwealth. Jefferson, the proposed state of Jefferson, and Puerto Rico were both supported by 61 percent of their citizens in a referendum to support the financially-strapped country's election to become a state.These are just four possible candidates for statehood.Political borders are one of the main reasons we have borders all over the globe. The proposed secession of the counties Oregon and Idaho from the United States is no exception.Happy Independence Day 2021Source: Citizens for Greater IdahoThis is what you can do: ShareLinkedInFacebookTwitterRedditPinterestEmail
