BREAKING: Virginia's Senate just voted to pass legislation abolishing the death penalty, 21 to 17 votes.
Virginia has been one of most pro-death penalty states in U.S. history. So this would be a historic development. Next up: the House still has to vote on it.

Here's the Senate roll call on the bill, which is sponsored by Senator Surovell.
One of the two Republicans who'd voted for it in committee (Vogel) ended up opposing it; the other (Stanley) didn't vote.
