How did the Supreme Court rule on Mississippi mail-in ballot deadlines and what does the 5-4 decision mean?

Nicolle Wallace 0:00

In a 5-4 decision, the justices upheld a 2020 Mississippi law that says mail-in ballots still count if they are postmarked by Election Day and arrive within five days. Writing for the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett rejected a radical attempt by republicans to rewrite election law quote the election day statutes say nothing about ballot receipt and we cannot add to the words congress chose democracy docket adds this quote in addition to protecting similar laws in 13 other states and Washington DC, this ruling will make it harder for the GOP to mount a legal assault on early voting, which legal experts said would be likely if the court ruled for the RNC. Quote, it also spares laws in 17 states that specifically provide ballot receipt grace periods for military and overseas voters.

In the last hour, Donald Trump reacted to the ruling, lost his mind is what we'd say if he were anyone but the president, by making baseless claims again that mail-in voting, which is how he votes, is, quote, cheating.

What comes next for the SAVE Act after today's ruling?

Stephen K. Bannon 1:08

Well, because of the mail-in ballot ruling, which was a little bit surprising, gives people more time to vote illegally, let's say. But the SAVE Act is even more important. And that's the right. You have to be a citizen of our country. Okay. You have to show you're a citizen of our country. It's called citizenship. Voter ID by photo. Photo voter ID. And no mail-in ballots unless you're in the military, disabled, you're ill, or you're away, or even on a vacation with being very open about it. It's pretty easy. And we'll have honest elections. But the ruling, which a lot of people were waiting for, that was a ruling that was — I think it was very detrimental to honest elections. But it is what it is. Basically, they're keeping it a little bit the way it is now.

They may have a little bit of a restriction on based on the wording.

The Press And you asked Thune about firing the parliamentarian.

Stephen K. Bannon 2:03

The President And then you have the very important one, the slaughter case, which we'll talk about if you ask that question. But the parliamentarian, what were you asking about?

Unknown 2:15

The Press Yeah, have you talked with Thune about — The President I have.

Stephen K. Bannon 2:17

No, I can't imagine why you'd keep a woman that was put there by Harry Reid and Barack Hussein Obama. I cannot understand it. The leader has the right to fire the person at will and put somebody else there. That could be because we get so many negative rulings from her, the parliamentarian. She's been there for years and she was put there by Harry Reid and Barack Hussein Obama. Harry Reid was a bad guy and he was the leader and he put her. And the speaker has the right to immediately fire her and put somebody else there. And it's not even believable that she's still there. She's obviously a good politician or something.

poll watchers and workers. They, quote, monitored voting process processes, especially in swing states. Some of the volunteers included Jack Posobiec. She was also a former deputy director of the Republican National Lawyers Association and a veteran of Florida GOP politics. Do you see her in that role as potentially dangerous? Well, when she worked on election integrity, election integrity meant something different than what you and I might mean when we use that term. Right. I think about that as protecting people's ability to register, to vote and to have their vote counted. And what she was involved in was something very different. It was the perpetration of the big lie in large part and spreading myths.

about our elections. So I think this is an alarming symbol, but it's important that we're seeing it happen in public. And I would say to my brother, Cornell, let's not fall down before we get hit, because even though they're trying to dilute our votes and take away our votes, and I say this as a Southern Democrat, you know, I vote Democratic in Alabama a lot of the time, I am willing to stand in the long lines.
