Since Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee died, the JP sheriff's election has been pushed to November, and qualifying will re-open for this election. Of course, Harry would have won again in a landslide. Now it's a different ballgame.

One of the candidates has already filed suit to try to block the re-qualifying process, saying that the election should proceed as scheduled on the regular date, without re-opening the qualifying process.

The candidates who have qualified already will have to re-qualify. Do you think that's fair to the candidates already on the ballot? Opinions?

I read in an article in the Times-Picayune that when a candidate dies, the qualifying is re-opened. I think in this case, there may be people who had decided not to try for it because they knew Harry Lee could not be beaten, but now they stand a chance. I say let them do the re-qualifying thing. The death of Harry Lee was the death of an era for Jefferson Parish. I wish the man had held office here in Orleans Parish; we would have been better off.
