A secession plan known as the "Greater Idaho Movement" is gaining momentum in Oregon as some residents feel they no longer belong in the liberal-run state and would be better served by their neighbor to the east. If successful, the Greater Idaho Movement would move Oregon's eastern border west by 200 miles, allowing some rural parts of the state to combine with neighboring Idaho.
