> On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho.  The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.

    Honestly, I get it. I totally disagree with their opinions, but living in a state where you know the votes of you and your community are effectively meaningless due to a distant, overwhelming majority sucks.

    That being said…this isn’t how states should work. Independent administration for urban and rural areas would amplify the existing division in our country, which has already become a glaring problem in recent years.
