schema:articleBody	Virginia moved one step closer on Friday to becoming the 23rd US state to abolish the death penalty -- and the first southern state to do so. The Virginia House of Delegates voted 57-41 to end capital punishment, two days after the state Senate approved a similar bill. The two Democratic-controlled chambers will now have to reconcile their respective versions of the bill and send it to Governor Ralph Northam for his signature. Northam, a Democrat, has said he would sign it when it reaches his desk. Virginia has carried out more executions -- nearly 1,400 -- than any other of the 50 US states since its founding as a colony in the early 1600s. Virginia has conducted the second-most executions after Texas since the US Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. The state housed the capital of the pro-slavery South during the 1861-65 US Civil War and was also the site of numerous lynchings of African Americans. The death penalty has been abolished in 22 states, while three others -- California, Oregon and Pennsylvania -- have observed a moratorium on its use. Overall, US states carried out seven executions last year, with many opting to suspend the use of capital punishment because of the Covid-19 pandemic. At the same time, former president Donald Trump's administration resumed federal executions and put 13 federal inmates to death between July 2020 and his departure from the White House in January. Trump's successor, Joe Biden, has pledged to abolish the federal death penalty. cl/sst
