Another Oregon county votes to join Idaho

After election day this week, one thing is clear. Many people in Oregon would rather be in Idaho.

Harney County, Oregon voted heavily in favor of a ballot measure placed on the ballot by petitioners for the Greater Idaho movement in a special election Tuesday.

This movement seeks to shift the Oregon/Idaho border to add eastern and southern Oregon counties to Idaho.

63% of voters were in favor, while 37% were opposed.

In May, five Oregon counties that voted on the issue voted in favor of joining Idaho. Two counties voted in favor in November 2020.
