  • In May 2021, news outlets reported that a handful of counties in rural Oregon had voted in favor of moving towards seceding from the state and joining Idaho. For example, on May 19, The Hill published an article with the headline Oregon counties vote to secede to Idaho, which stated that: Oregon Public Broadcasting reported that: Those reports were accurate. In elections held on May 18, 2021, a majority of voters in five Oregon counties did indeed vote in favor of advancing a broader project of seceding from the state and joining Idaho. The votes that took place in May 2021 were the latest development in a broader, ongoing campaign to reconfigure the borders of Oregon and California in order to integrate majority-conservative counties from those states into Idaho. In November 2020, two other Oregon counties — Jefferson and Union — also voted in favor of the move, meaning a total of seven of the state's 36 counties had advanced the re-drawing of borders, as of May 2021. The results of the votes that took place on May 18 can be found on the website of the Oregon Secretary of State, and are listed below, along with the wording of the ballot questions: (en)
