For the next four years, Miller covered some of the biggest stories in the U.S., including the 2000 United States presidential election recount in Florida, Hillary Clinton's senatorial campaign in New York and the riots during the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles.
The Society of American Business Editors and Writers selected Miller's 2011 coverage of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, which resulted in a state takeover of the agency, as the winner of its award for digital investigation.
