The Splitting & Seceding Crowd Is Getting Louder
Podcast: Philip TeresiPublished On: Thu May 28 2026
Description: Voters in Crook County, Oregon, approved a measure to join the “Greater Idaho” movement, becoming the 13th county to support efforts to leave Oregon and align with neighboring Idaho. The vote reflects growing frustration among rural communities over political differences with the state’s urban areas, though any border change would still require approval from both states and Congress. Leaders in Yuba and Sutter counties voted to support a proposal to split California into two states, highlighting concerns that inland communities are underrepresented in state government decisions. The plan would create a new state made up of mostly rural and inland counties, but it faces major hurdles since it must be approved by the state legislature and Congress.
