Super excited about voting, I was happy to see nice and big in the middle of The Miami Hearld homepage a story about the first day of early voting.
Filled with long lines and some technical difficulties people have begun to make their mark in Election 2008. The lengthy wait times and the turnout on just the first day of early voting proves that people are excited to vote but also that they realize the importance of this election.
I applaud The Miami Herald for writing this story because it gives people the heads up. Hey, if it was this busy on the first day of early voting can you imagine the amount of people on Novermber 4th? My only problem with the story was the length and the amount of little quotes that were used. It isn't necessary to have so many people comment on the how long the lines were and that they didn't expect this kind of turnout. Also, the picture wasn't showing up next to the article. Despite the minor problems, this article will definitely serve its purpose and allow Miami-Dade residents to know that people are out and voting and maybe they should make it a point to make the time and do the same or risk standing in lines for hours on Election Day.

Good points on the quotes... I agree completely. It has been ehye-opening to read the website while on vacation. I see it more from a reader's perspective (and a reader who can't see the print paper.)
