Statewide, about 5,200 attorneys, law students and other volunteers will be poll watchers for Obama's legal team. Poll watchers are registered voters assigned to observe election activity inside the polling station. They cannot interact with voters.
In Miami-Dade, which has 764 polls, Democratic observers number about 450. They will focus on what key members call ''voter protection'' in minority, elderly and traditionally strong Democratic precincts.  Their observers include immigration lawyer Ira Kurzban, lawyer and former Orange Bowl Committee president Albert Dotson Jr. and Miami-Dade prosecutor Abe Laeser.
