You said: > no they want a state where their say matters. You're proving their point Boise is a spot of Blue in an overwhelmingly Red state. Many Boise voters feel as though their vote doesn't matter because the votes from elsewhere in the state will drown them out. The same logic that would imply someone's say in one of these Oregon counties doesn't matter, would also imply that the say of someone living in Boise doesn't matter. It's an incorrect presumption. Your say doesn't only matter if you get your way. But it's the one you put forth.
