When I moved to Florida at the end of 2011, Democrats had a 500,000 voter registration advantage but still managed to lose most statewide races due to poor turnout and dixiecrat crossover voting. The registration advantage has since evaporated and turned into a 1,000,000+ deficit. It's unrealistic to compare the Florida electorate now with the Florida electorates in earlier cycles.
