This ‘underscores’ why we must keep fighting for the SAVE Act: Stephen Miller

In a discussion on “The Ingraham Angle,” Laura Ingraham and Stephen Miller reflected on the Supreme Court’s recent ruling regarding late mail-in ballots. Miller expressed strong disapproval of Justices Roberts and Barrett for their alignment with liberal justices, suggesting it could pave the way for greater voter fraud. Their conversation also touched on the “temporary” protected status for Haitians and the urgent need for more robust election integrity laws from Congress.

Miller specifically criticized Justices Roberts and Barrett on Monday, accusing them of engaging in “misconduct.” He mentioned that the ruling upheld a Mississippi law, allowing mail-in ballots to be counted even if they arrive after Election Day, which he claims caters to the “radical left.” He quoted Justice Alito, who made clear that Election Day has a specific meaning, emphasizing that it isn’t a stretch of time but a definitive date. Miller expressed frustration, stating, “No one could read the statute, no one could read the opinion, no one could read what Alito wrote and come to any other conclusion.”

He continued, “Today is Election Day. It’s not Election Week. It’s not Election Month. It’s a travesty, and it highlights why we must keep pushing to pass the SAVE America Act.”

Supreme Court rules regarding mail-in ballots received after Election Day

Miller’s comments followed a 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court, where Roberts and Barrett voted with the liberal justices. Within the context of federal law, they set a timeline for voters to express their preferences, but, he pointed out, there is no clear guideline for when a ballot must actually be received.

Barrett, appointed by Trump, wrote the majority opinion supporting the law. Along with her, Justices Roberts, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson agreed with the ruling.

Justice Alito, in a dissenting opinion, cautioned that this decision could further erode people’s already wavering trust in the electoral process.

Miller contended that Americans voted for a Republican majority in Congress with the hope of enacting the SAVE Act, reflecting sentiments in conservative circles that recent Supreme Court rulings underline the need for enhanced ballot protections. “Eighty million Americans elected a Republican Senate majority and a Republican Congress to achieve this fundamental priority,” he stated, asserting that it needs to happen.
