Republican South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster on Friday signed into law a bill allowing death row inmates to elect execution by electric chair or firing squad if lethal injection drugs are not available, according to the state legislature s website.
The change in South Carolina s law comes as states nationwide have hit barriers executing those on death row due to problems administering lethal injections, the widely preferred method in the US. Difficulties finding the required drugs have essentially paused executions in many states, including South Carolina, which has not had an execution since 2011.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – If Richard Moore is executed, he will have some say in how he goes the electric chair or the firing squad.
Moore is one of three prisoners on South Carolina s death row who have run out of appeals in the past six months and could be among the first to face the grim choice under a new state law. But his supporters including the state s former prisons chief say he deserves better.
