The Root via Yahoo NewsFlorida Democratic candidates have agreed to pool money together to create a $15 million voter organizing effort called ‘Blue Shift Florida,’ according to Politico, fighting to keep Florida a purple state. The money will be used to hire at least 200 organizers and open as many as 80 offices to increase voter turnout.
