Maybe someone can help me? What does the author mean by "At least one candidate, John Helmert, said he’s worried now that the election will be fair."

I suspect John Helmert is being quoted wholly out of context. I might be wrong.

That doesn’t read right, what it means is that Helmert is worried about the fairness of the election.

I suppose that the sentence would read better if it reflected the following: “At least one candidate, John Helmert, said he’s worried now about whether the election will be fair.”

I have been a staunch proponent of fair elections, including photographic identification. I believe, at a minimum, that every voter should be alive, registered to vote, and physically present when casting a vote.

Although probably not a misquote, (I didn’t record the conversation I had with the reporter and she is a very good reporter), this did not convey my dissatisfaction with the present electoral system in Mississippi.

I am very concerned about whether elections are fair in Mississippi and especially in the 13th House District. Especially now that 13 have been arrested, with more to come, supposedly.
