The whole point of federalism is to allow lots of political decisions to be made by groups of people whose political views are more homogeneous than the nation as a whole. In this case, it could be done easily without changing the national political balance.
A parallel transfer of land in eastern Washington State to Idaho also makes sense.
Previous post on the topic here.
If one really wanted to expand Idaho, one could also add these rural Nevada counties that have more in common with Idaho and Utah than they do with the rest of their state (although due to the existing road networks, they are really more strongly connected to Utah than to Idaho).
