Pineville, MO is an unincorporated community located in McDonald County. Like most rural areas, Pineville lacks a strong political presence due to its small population and remote location. With the lack of formal representation, the local residents rely on smaller scale initiatives such as grassroots efforts to have their voices heard. In recent years, Pineville has seen some movements for stronger representation and more political involvement from local citizens. These efforts have been mainly in the form of petitions and letter writing campaigns directed at state lawmakers or other large organizations advocating for change. The town has also begun hosting events such as town hall meetings, candidate forums, and county-wide political debates in order to promote active civic engagement. Despite these efforts, Pineville remains an area with little formal political representation due to its size and remoteness.

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 for the Democrat and I for the Independent. 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.
