'Greater Idaho' Movement Where Idaho Would Absorb Rural Counties From Oregon Gains Momentum

Leaders from both Idaho and Oregon have expressed support for relocating the Idaho-Oregon border. The Greater Idaho movement seeks to incorporate 13 Oregon counties, or 63% of the state's landmass and 9% of its population, within Idaho's borders. Some critics have warned against "self-segregating by ideology," saying the creation of a Greater Idaho would fuel division.
