Some states (not hard to imagine which) will almost certainly revert to other methods of execution.
I can see the relatively more liberal states that still have the death penalty perhaps using this to abolish it. I've just looked up which states still use the death penalty, and tbh I'm actually surprised California is among them. It seems (predictably) that the more Republican-leaning states are the ones which tend to still practice the death penalty, while the most staunchly Democratic ones have all abolished it. There's only a few exceptions to that rule

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
