An excellent demonstration of the fact that a majority of a subgroup is often a minority of the whole group.  The death penalty states are still a majority in both states and electoral votes.

While the death penalty is on the books in the majority of states, there are only a handful of states that are regularly executing people, notably TX, OK, and FL. Those three states account for 2/3s of the executions in the last 2 years.
