“There would be no change to senators since Eastern Oregon would be joining Idaho.”
No kidding. That’s why I wasn’t talking about Oregon/Idaho and was specifically referring to states splitting in HALF, like that one poster wished for in Illinois.
If I lived in eastern Oregon, of course I’d be all for joining Idaho. It’s to have actual representation instead of being overwhelmed and outvoted by the sewage from the rest of the state which makes Oregon permanently “blue”.
And then what happens when Eastern Washington wants to join Idaho?
