Democrats keep telling me that DC can't rejoin Maryland because it isn't what the residents want - they want to be a separate state. I think we should apply the same logic here and these counties should become a new state.

I think it has to be voted on by the people of OR through a ballot initiative and the legislature has to approve it, probably both legislatures.

While amusing, this strikes me as being akin to a middle schooler running for class president on a platform of “less homework”.
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
The Conch Republic is amusing; this isn't. The question isn't about how or where it starts, but where it ends. If people don't like how an election went, they need to get off their ass and get to work changing the minds of voters outside their hive.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Secession reminds me of the kid who wants to take his ball and go home because he can't make the rules everyone else wants to play by. A few voters get upset over the results of an election and wish they were someplace else where the rules are more agreeable to them. People in eastern WA and eastern OR have to deal with the state legislators, like it or not, as long as they live there.
A much better and quicker solution would be to just move to ID or some other mostly rural state that voted for Trump, like WY, UT or MT. You can't change a Zebra's stripes.

Insisting people move is not a viable strategy to address urban/rural bifurcation and entrenched extremism in the cities. For one thing, it's a profoundly entitled stance--that those with money and means to be mobile have more of a right to freedom than others. For another, I seem to recall being told to move by residents of the great states of Virginia, Colorado, and Florida. Texas should pay better attention.
Hmmmm.... I should leave the place I grew up in, abandoning family, friends, community.... because a bunch of transplants to my states big cities have managed to monopolize my state politics?
What's the chance I have of influencing state politics sufficiently to inspire urban voters to vote against all the free shit promises made by Team Blue? Is there a realistic chance for a rural Californian, Upstate NYer or Downstate Illinoisan to make that happen in their lifetime?
