Are there any states that still have “the chair”?

As of 2015, the only places in the world which still reserve the electric chair as an option for execution are the U.S. states of Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. (Arkansas and Oklahoma laws provide for its use should lethal injection ever be held to be unconstitutional.) Per wiki

Maybe if they talk to John Kasich he’ll let them ‘borrow’ Ol’ Sparky’..

Hopefully, or they could reinstate the chair for a criminal who needs to fry as much as this one does.
