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.
