This is the notion that NW Oregon has 2/3's the population ... so what's good for Portland etc becomes State Law ... even if these new laws work poorly out here in the sticks ...

That measure failed here, we already have a State capital at Redding ... with a state legislature under the legal mandate of never meeting ...

The problem with that idea....is that they lack the authority to do it.

You need the consent of other States to become a State. You don't just 'declare it' an start electing your Senators.

They want to become part of Idaho, not a new state

At the very least, they'd need the consent of both States. And most likely, the consent of the several states.

I don't see any of that happening.

A perfect example of why the founding fathers adopted the electoral college, the prevention of large metropolitan areas in gaining absolute control over smaller populated areas for their own benefit.

Hell all you need to do is win Seattle and the burbs, or Potland and Salem and it’s all yours to rule as you see fit. That way you can escape the sewer for wide open spaces in your park.

Medford would make for a better site for the capital of Jefferson.

More centralized.

Its still part of the US, despite writing its own articles of secession.

I doubt that the oregon counties would have much better luck without the consent of the States.
