NPR reports:
Former Mike Pence aide Diego Morales upset incumbent Holli Sullivan Saturday to earn the GOP nomination for secretary of state. Morales, whose family immigrated to Indiana from Guatemala, has previously pushed the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.
He’s criticized Indiana’s election security, arguing the state needs to do more to prevent non-citizens from voting. During the convention, many of his supporters booed and heckled current Secretary of State Sullivan. Democratic Secretary of State candidate Destiny Wells called Morales a “far right, election denier, conspiracy theorist.”

Indiana Republicans nominated Diego Morales as their Secretary of State candidate—a man who in 2009 was terminated for poor performance, and rehired again in 2011, and then put on a performance plan again and then resigning from the very office he could now lead next year.
