In early February, Virginia’s state legislature voted to abolish the death penalty – a significant change for a state that has executed more people than any other since its founding and is second only to Texas in executions since the late 1970s. Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam is expected to sign the abolition into law any day now, making Virginia the 23rd state to end the death penalty, and the first state to do so in the South, an area that far surpasses all other regions in executions.   Change on this issue has come swiftly: Virginia will be the 11th state to abolish capital punishment so far in the 21st century. And while Virginia’s move reflects a political transformation in the former Confederate capital, which has become more Democratic in recent years, the death penalty is also one of a host of issues, like LGBTQ rights and marijuana legalization, where there’s been a rapid shift in thought nationwide – driven largely by millennials.
