The Good News is Florida is not that Important anymore Electorally

[JI7]

It still is and helps in locking out Republicans if democrats do win the state.

But for a Democrat to win nationally it isn't as important as around 2000 and 2004 was. Same goes for Ohio .

There are more paths to victory for Democrats. We need to invest in building up the democratic party in North Carolina, Georgia , and Texas.

Just want to add that I'm not saying we should not compete in these states but rather it is better for us to have other options and it's not always about the same few issues and demographics every election year.

1. Those Cubans really love trump and...

Hate socialism so much that if one parties even came close to do it then they effectively shut down the party.

2. Maybe very true

But I really want those 27% of ballots in South Florida to be tallied.

6. Agree, we need to make sure every vote was counted and look into any other

similar cases across the country.

3. Definitely same for OH.

[Kaleva]

4. The map of the battle ground states has shifted. Leaving out FL and OH.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. Same with Ohio.

7. Florida is Republican until further notice.

Fight there, of course, but its not a swing state.

[Shermann]

8. The bad news is that Latinos there and elsewhere are susceptible to fear-mongering

They really bought into the Republican talking points around socialism.

[JI7]

10. But that has always been the case . Those attacks don't work as well

in other states. Which makes the attacks themselves weaker.

9. NC and GA are significantly to the left of OH at this point

and for that matter we will lose Texas by considerably less of a percentage than we lost Ohio by.

11. Texas, NC, GA & AZ are heading in the right direction

Florida is looking irreversibly deep red in terms of statewide elections and while Ohio is more open to Democratic senators, I suspect it’ll be another Indiana before long.

12. if their name is Sherrod Brown they are

otherwise not so much. Brown has done very well electorally but other than Obama and a supreme court justice he is the only state wide winner in Ohio since 2006.

13. I'm not sure I even buy the Cuban Latinos story

There was a very curious chunk of Miami-Dade that was trending in roughly the same direction as Jacksonville and Orange Counties in the polls - towards Biden, but which all but disappeared when the votes were actually tallied. My suspicion is that the hole is roughly DeJoy shaped, either ballots that never made it to processing or ballots that never made it to voters in the first place. With that hole there, what showed through was just the "normal" pro-Trump factions. There were likely similar efforts made elsewhere, given how tightly sealed DeSantis's mouth was to Trump's butt, but that one stood out to me as being VERY odd.
