Both the Florida Senate and the Florida House have drawn terrible republican gerrymanders. Most of the democrats represent heavy minority districts and even the new maps under the new laws are still republican maps.

Also because of this gerrymander the Republican Party of Florida raises millions more from special interests than thr Democrats who virtually have little influence in state legislation. This allows the RPOF to outspend the Florida Dems and manage a better GOTV campaign.

Democrats need a leader who can appeal to all fractions of the party. They need a better grassroots campaign and better voter turnout. Remember, Dems have about a 400k+ registration advantage yet republicans have super majorities in both chambers.
