Florida
For those down on Miami, keep in mind the only reason we need them is due to the right wing crazies in the Panhandle, (PC and Pensacola). It's basically 70+ percent votes for them uncontested, and they find more each year.
The old strategy of overcoming them with the vote down south is failing every cycle. I realize the maps are similar to a lot of other states we lose but it's frustrating to say the least because on the ground it seems like we don't fight till the election while they are mobilized 24/7/365.
I find it comical when Hurricane Michael hit, they were wondering where the feds were to help them while supporting the ideology of a weak federal government. We had no messaging on this or ever brought it up that I know of.
