Todd Rokita defeated incumbent Curtis Hill and two other candidates in the Republican Party primary convention to determine the party's attorney general nominee in the November 3, 2020, general election. After the final round of voting, Rokita received 52 percent of the delegate vote to Hill's 48 percent.[1] Nate Harter and John Westercamp also participated in the convention and were eliminated in earlier rounds of voting.

The Indianapolis Star's Tim Evans wrote, "little separates the four Republicans when it comes to philosophy and issues," writing that, instead, "The GOP race for the party's Attorney General nomination has become a referendum on [the] incumbent." Hill was the subject of inappropriate touching allegations, which resulted in disciplinary action in 2020.[2]

On October 21, 2019, the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission convened a hearing related to July 2018 allegations that Hill had inappropriately touched a legislator and three staff members at a party.[3][4] On May 11, 2020, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled against Hill and suspended his law license for 30 days beginning on May 18, 2020.[5]

Harter, the Decatur County Prosecutor, said the disciplinary action against Hill "reflects the unavoidable fact that ... [he] has lost the trust of Hoosiers and has compromised his ability to do the important work we deserve."[6]

While announcing his campaign, Rokita said, "our incumbent is wounded. The unanimous Supreme Court ruling, by Republican appointed and conservative Justices, after a significant investigation of the facts made this choice clear.”[7] Rokita previously served as Indiana's secretary of state and as the U.S. Representative for Indiana's 4th Congressional District.

Westercamp avoided campaigning around Hill's legal proceedings. He said, "I'm not running because of any other person," adding, "Not once have I discussed [Hill's] legal or personal problems in my [campaign materials]."[8][9] At the time of the election, Westercamp practiced regulatory and commercial law at Bose McKinney & Evans LLP.[10]

In a letter sent to GOP state convention delegates, Hill wrote, "These new candidates don't care about your voice. They only care about themselves and taking another step up the ladder."[11] In a later statement, he said, "Like President [Donald Trump (R)], who was cleared by a special prosecutor and still impeached, I was cleared by a special prosecutor but still got a 30-day suspension with automatic reinstatement. Both President Trump and I are 'wounded' as some would say. But not so wounded to ignore our individual record of achievement. And in my case, a record that far exceeds any expectations from my challengers."[2]

The convention began on June 18, 2020, with a live streamed broadcast. Delegates received ballots by mail on June 22, which had to be returned by 5:00 p.m. EST on July 9. The winner was announced on July 10, 2020. To learn more about the convention process, click here.

At the time of the election, Indiana was one of 19 states with a Republican triplex, meaning Republicans controlled the positions of governor, secretary of state, and attorney general. Before 2020, the last time Indiana elected a Democratic attorney general was in 1996.

Indiana modified its primary election process as follows:

  • Election postponements: The primary election was postponed from May 5, 2020, to June 2.
  • Voting procedures: All voters were allowed to cast their ballots by mail in the primary election.
  • Political party events: Both the Democratic and Republican parties of Indiana canceled their in-person state conventions. The parties opted instead to conduct convention business virtually and by mail.

Conventions in Indiana

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Indiana Republican convention was moved to a virtual, mail-in format.[43] Included below is a live stream of the convention as well as frequently asked questions about changes to the voting procedures.

June 18 live stream

On June 18, the Indiana Republican State Convention was broadcast as a statewide live stream. The broadcast included speeches from the attorney general candidates, messages from elected officials, and a keynote address from Gov. Eric Holcomb (R).[43][30]

Frequently asked questions

The following information was gathered from the Indiana GOP's 2020 state convention page, which can be found here.
How many delegates voted in the convention?
1,800 delegates had the opportunity to cast a ballot.
How were delegates selected?
Delegates were either selected during the June 2, 2020, primary elections or appointed by county GOP officials. In order to participate in the convention, delegates had to pay a $50 fee by June 9.
How did the voting process operate?
Delegates began receiving ballots in the mail around June 22. The state GOP opted to implement ranked-choice voting. According to the state party:
Mail-in voting will work to replicate the typical voting process at convention as much as possible. Traditionally, in multiple candidate races, votes would happen in rounds until the top vote-getter receives a majority (50% plus 1) of all votes cast. That meant that if no candidate receives that required vote total after a round of voting, the lowest vote-getter is dropped, and another round of voting occurs.[44]
Indiana GOP
In 2020, delegates selected their top candidate. In addition, they could have ranked the remaining candidates as a second, third, and fourth choice. If a candidate received a simple majority (50%+1) after the first round of counting, they secured the nomination outright. If no candidate met that threshold, the lowest vote-getter would be removed and ballots recounted, repeating the process until one candidate receives a simple majority.
Were delegates required to pick more than one candidate?
No. Delegates had to pick at least one candidate. They then had the option to rank any number of the remaining three candidates in case their preferred candidate was removed after a round of counting. If a delegate's top choice was removed, their ballot would then be counted for their second-choice candidate, if they made such an indication, and so on and so forth.
When were ballots due?
Ballots needed to be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 9. Along with ballots, delegates received a pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope in the mail, which they were able to use in order to return their ballots.
How were ballots be handled and processed?
The printing and mailing of ballots was handled by Elections Systems & Software (ES&S), an election systems and services company that many Indiana county clerks utilize for ballot machines and election support. The receipt of ballots was handled by Katz, Sapper & Miller, a third-party accounting firm hired by the state GOP to hold all ballots prior to tabulation.
When was the winner announced?
July 10, 2020.

Noteworthy events

Misconduct hearing over inappropriate touching allegations

On October 21, 2019, the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission convened a hearing related to July 2018 allegations that Hill had inappropriately touched a legislator and three staff members at a party.[3] On May 11, 2020, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled against Hill and suspended his law license for 30 days beginning on May 18, 2020.[5]

In response, Hill wrote on Twitter, "I accept with humility and respect the Indiana Supreme Court’s ruling of a 30-day suspension of my license with automatic reinstatement.”[45]

Harter said the decision "reflects the unavoidable fact that my friend Curtis Hill has lost the trust of Hoosiers and has compromised his ability to do the important work we deserve."[6]

On May 20, former Indiana Secretary of State and 4th District U.S. Congressman Todd Rokita (R) announced he would seek the Republican nomination for attorney general. In a statement, Rokita said, "our incumbent is wounded. The unanimous Supreme Court ruling, by Republican appointed and conservative Justices, after a significant investigation of the facts made this choice clear.”[7]

According to The Indiana Lawyer, Westercamp "has kept his narrative focused on his campaign platform and has largely declined to directly address Hill’s disciplinary troubles."[11]

In a letter sent to GOP state convention delegates after the decision, Hill wrote, "These new candidates don't care about your voice. They only care about themselves and taking another step up the ladder." He added, "on June 17th, I will come back stronger than ever, committed to my service to Hoosiers ... I will NEVER stop Standing Strong for the values you and I hold dear."[11]
