So, did the Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) sign or veto the electric chair bill before him? I understand he had until midnight Eastern Time to decide that. He wouldn’t say one way or another to the press.

An example of press reporting on this is from The Guardian:

As the law currently stands, the electric chair can only be used when a condemned person elects it. The bill would allow the state to impose it.

C’mon Virginia, even my state of Nebraska repealed the death penalty. If our Republican legislature can bring themselves to do that, surely a Democratic governor would not sign a bill to make it easier.
