I specifically said I doubt it would place Florida in the Biden camp.  However, I do think increased turnout can change the election for the Senate seat held by Rick Scott  and other down-ballot races.  Florida has to protect the Scott seat for Republicans to gain control of the Senate.  Scott won by only 10,000 votes in 2018 and is unpopular among his constituents.

Republicans will have to spend money to defend that seat.  Money they really don't have and need elsewhere.
