there has been an outflow of retirees from FL to states like SC and NC (particularly the Smokies).

You probably also have a lot who live there who have NOT registered to vote or were purged (and didn't bother to re-register). That has always been an issue - especially when you have a large immigrant population.

It's also the Indies that need to be canvassed and convinced and they have a significant chunk of registrations.

I bring up the PA vs FL thing because as long as we let someone else "define and control the narrative" of it being "impossible", then it will be "impossible". PA has also shown an erosion of Democratic registrations but what does that really mean? Especially when election after election, post 2020, Democrats have been shown to have "overperformed".

So many on DU bring up Howard Dean and his "50-state strategy" and this is an instance where the DNC and Harris/Walz campaigns have literally GOBS of money. Just unheard of amounts of money. To raise $1/2 a billion in just a month is obscene.

The GOP scrapes every vote they can out of the slime pits and we need to scrape every vote that we can out of the forgotten urban neighborhoods.
