Wallowa county (can't believe I'm talking about Wallowa county on the internet...) is a really unique place... my guess is that cooler heads will prevail there because they don't gain anything by joining Idaho. Hell's canyon blocks them from easy transit connections to Idaho - there's basically one road in and out of the county, realistically speaking. They don't gain anything by making a switch - money ties are to Portland already.
