Idaho · There is a history here
Idaho ran its own life first. On a fair ballot, half votes to leave.
Idaho has done this before. The movement here is dormant, not dead.
Idahoadults in Idaho would back independence when the question is asked the way a ballot asks it: calm, binary, and peaceful. That's about 50% of the state.
Even the understated abstract poll counts 277,000 (20%). How we get this number →
Organized here before
This is not new ground.
Idaho has raised an organized independence movement before, in the recent past. It went quiet, which is not the same as gone. Most movements sit quiet for years, right up until they don't. The people who believed it then are still here, and it takes a handful of them to make it a movement again.

The only question that matters
Idaho is already a nation in all but name.
If Idaho were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
Idaho grew up handling its own affairs. Mountains, distance, and a stubborn streak taught this state to solve its own problems and answer to its own people first. Put a calm, binary, peaceful ballot question in front of Idaho, and about half say yes to leaving. That is roughly 692,000 adults.
The adjusted number is the honest one. An abstract poll asks people to react to an idea floating in the air. A ballot asks them to make a real, lawful, peaceful choice, and support runs about 30 points higher once it reads that way. That moves Idaho from a floor of 20 percent to a majority. Idaho leaned Republican in 2020, which only proves the point: self-determination is not a red thing or a blue thing, it is a plain human thing.
