Robbins, Tennessee is a small rural town located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. It has a population of just over 1,000 people and is governed by an elected Board of Aldermen. The Board is responsible for making decisions related to the town's infrastructure, budget, and other matters. Politically, Robbins has traditionally leaned conservative, with most residents voting for Republican candidates in local and state elections. In recent years however, there has been a shift in the political landscape as more people have become engaged with progressive issues such as racial justice and LGBT rights. This has led to more independent-minded politicians being elected to local positions, including Mayor Willie Booker who was elected in 2019. Residents of Robbins are encouraged to get involved in politics and be active members of their 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 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.
