Conservative secessionist movements exist for Eastern Oregon to [[secede]] and join the [[United States]] as a 51st state.<ref>Wright, Phil, [http://www.eastoregonian.com/main.asp?SectionID=13&SubSectionID=48&ArticleID=76761 Group eyes Eastern Oregon as 51st state], East Oregonian, Published April 25, 2008.</ref> This [[secession]] movement is similar to other Northwest secession proposals such as the conservative [[Jefferson (Pacific state)|Jefferson]] (far [[Northern California]] and [[Southwestern Oregon]]) and conservative [[Lincoln (Northwest state)|Lincoln]] ([[Northern Idaho]] and [[Eastern Washington]]). However, the proponents of this plan have not presented a path forward to achieve this goal, and any such plan would likely not be considered unless liberals were allowed to add another state with reliably liberal voters (such as the District of Columbia or Puerto Rico) in order to balance votes.
