Belvidere, NE is a small rural town located in the south-central part of the state. The political landscape in Belvidere is unique in that the town is not dominated by any one political party. Rather, it is home to a diverse mix of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, as well as various other minor political parties. This diversity makes it difficult for any single candidate to gain a majority of the vote. As such, local elections often require multiple rounds of voting and can be quite contentious when issues become more divisive among these different factions. In recent years, Belvidere has seen its share of heated debates and passionate campaigns for local offices. Despite this fractiousness, all sides generally come together after an election to begin working towards solutions that benefit the entire community.

How It Works:
Here at BestPlaces, we were looking at the voting patterns since the 2000 election and realized that we could express the results of each election as one letter. R if the Republican Party candidate won, D if the Democratic Party candidate won and I if the Independent Party candidate won. The six elections (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020) would be expressed as six-letter word (R R D R R).
Then we went a little further and added the dimension of magnitude. If the difference of victory was greater than 10 percent, the letter is upper case, and lower case if the difference was less than 10 percent. This allows us to see interesting voting patterns at just a glance.
