Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : "Protocols have been written, and the department is ready to carry out an order of execution by firing squad if the inmate chooses this method," the Department of Correction said.
47% : The change in South Carolina comes less than a year after Republican Gov. Henry McMaster signed a bill into law that made the electric chair the primary means of execution in the state.
46% : "The death penalty is going to stay the law here for a while," Democratic state Sen. Dick Harpootlian said.
41% : That makes South Carolina the fourth state, beside Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Utah to allow execution by firing squad.
