Anthony Hennen from Red Alert Politics recently published an article highlighting why conservatives are changing their minds on the death penalty and which states seem primed to repeal capital punishment in the near future.
Hennen wrote,
A growing number of conservatives want to abolish the death penalty, and they’re seeing success on the state level.
Once viewed as a liberal position, conservatives have started to reclaim opposition to the death penalty based on limited government power and shrewd economic fact.
Hennen sees several states as being the next to possibly repeal the death penalty. He said,
Kansas and Montana are expected to be battlegrounds on the issue, and Florida overhauled its laws on the death penalty after the Supreme Court found their prior system unconstitutional.
Hennen closed by referencing CCATDP and myself.
[Hyden has] found fertile ground to debate and sway others that could make the death penalty a rarity, if not a banned punishment.
