According to a now retired FL-based Democratic political strategist, the current problem's roots trace all the way back to early 2010, when some essential party operations were outsourced by the Florida Democratic Party to outside organizations. Since that time, Republicans have registered way more voters than Democrats, and this allowed Republicans to overtake Democrats in terms of raw numbers of registered voters (and this doesn't even take into account the people in northern FL who are registered as Democrats but who have been voting Republican in recent elections). On paper, FL has become more diverse over the past several decades, but many of the new non-whites who have registered to vote have registered as independents (or even Republicans, in the case of people from some Latin American countries) instead of Democrats. Of course, there's also the Democrats' struggles with white voters without higher education, which has manifested itself in them tanking in places like Pasco & Volusia, and losing ground in places like Palm Beach.
