> [@flurb](#): > > The problem with making a play for Florida is that the “get out the vote” stuff that’s most likely to boost your vote totals takes time to get in place. Combing voter lists to identify occasional D voters that you need to target, setting up phone banks, sending out mailers, organizing block walkers to knock on doors and car pools to get voters to the polls. There’s no evidence that Harris or Biden before her is organizing any of this in Florida. I’m sure the Florida Democratic Party is doing some GOTV but they seem pretty resource constrained. There’s been fairly large grassroots efforts to increase Democratic turnout in several battleground states, starting in earnest back in 2021 to lead into the 2022 mid-terms (**[Florida example, forgive the headline](https://www.npr.org/2021/03/02/971343870/the-florida-democratic-party-has-a-problem-its-broke-and-disorganized)**). These efforts have largely taken place outside of the formal campaign framework. Following a few liberal Substacks, I catch a lot of second-hand news about the grassroots activity in places like Florida. One of the biggest individual cogs is **[Field Team 6](https://www.fieldteam6.org/)**, who have poured considerable resources into Florida this cycle. **[Here is some dated information](https://www.influencewatch.org/political-party/field-team-6/)** (April 2022) about the organization, but it’s a good summary of their activities. And by no means is Field Team 6 operating alone. EDIT: Keeping this post tied into the thread’s theme, non-campaign efforts such as these make it harder for Trump to count on Florida than it was in the past. Florida might not turn blue, but it won’t be a walk, either. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-can-donald-trump-win-at-this-point/1005351)._
