Well, I was watching/looking for 'visible' things such as buses in the polling place's parking lot, large groups of people arriving together to vote, people waiting in line who aren't speaking English/talking in a foreign language, people in the line who look out of place, voters arguing with the election workers about providing an ID or being rejected from voting, election workers coaching or encouraging voters to choose certain candidates, looking for electronic devices (like Wi-Fi/internet devices) in the room, examining if the ballot scanner/container box's door was closed and key-locked, and watching the ballot tabulator machine and some sort of election software screen on a nearby computer to see if any "vendor" or election worker started using or tampering with it.
I double-checked the screen as I was making my candidate selections to see if any of my choices changed, and checked again in the summary screens to make sure none of my selections were altered before printing my ballot, and then confirmed that each race had my selected candidate listed on my paper ballot before I took it to the scanner machine.
I also monitored the process of how the poll workers verified IDs / addresses / voter registrations prior to handing people a ballot. And I watched tons of voters carry their own printed ballots themselves to the tabulator machine and insert it into the scanner with nobody else touching their ballot. Things like that. :-)
