Road to the White House: Expect a horde of monitors at the polls

The volunteers' stated goal is to block suspicious activities at the polls, while offering help to legitimate voters who encounter problems. If necessary, they will have access to mobile teams of lawyers who will be ready to go to court. Both Democrats and Republicans will be watching each other closely.

Berger said he expects as many as 1,000 New York lawyers to trek to Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida as the election nears.
