Party registration is a bad metric to determine how swingy a state is. West Virginia and Kentucky had more registered Democrats than Republicans in 2016 and 2020, nobody would call them blue states.
Most people who change their political views don’t update their party registration until much later, if at all. Florida’s party registration numbers describe how the state looked 15 years ago, not today.
Gerrymandering doesn’t change statewide elections and 2020 had the highest turnout in US history. It’s a reddish-purple state because there are a lot of chuds there.
