Last Thursday the Greater Idaho movement submitted a petition to put a ballot initiative onto the November 2022 Morrow County ballot.

Organizer Mike McCarter said so far, nine eastern Oregon counties have voted for the movement’s ballot measures: two in November 2020, five in May of 2021, one in a special election in November, and Klamath County in the recent May Primary Election.

McCarter said the purpose of the ballot initiative is show state legislators that voters want them to begin talks with Idaho to move the border.

The Greater Idaho movement completely revised its proposal last week to exclude southwestern Oregon. Updated maps for the movement are linked. www.greateridaho.org/the-maps
