This article title is grossly misleading. As far as I can tell from the article, no actual votes have happened.

The group behind this is just pushing for counties to support them.

These types of groups pop up all the time, make hay and then disappear.

There were votes, two more counties will hold a vote at a later date.

Still misleading, they voted to look into it. It's a HUGE waste of money since it wont go anywhere in congress.

If they’re not creating a new State but joining an existing one, it just might. Depends on how this plays out in Oregon and Idaho too, but it won’t affect the Senate.

The vote was taken Tuesday of this week:

Yes they can vote to leave the state but they should also not get any of the tax dollars from the more densely populated counties that stay behind. Thank you , Sayonara!
