yes Idaho and Oklahoma have the firing squad as a method of capital punishment.
Answer:
None of them do really. Lethal injection is always the first choice for the death penalty. All other methods are only used if lethal injection are found unconstituational.
Utah no longer offers the firing squad as an option, but would allow it only for inmates who chose this method prior to its elimination .
Oklahoma offers firing squad only if lethal injection and electrocution are found unconstitutional.

When was Death by firing squad abolished?
Never. Firing squad is still a backup option for execution in two states, Idaho and Oklahoma. Its use is entirely optional and very rare. It was last used in 1996 in Utah when opted by John Albert Taylor. Utah has since removed the option, and Gary Gilmore in 1977 was the last case before Taylor. In the United States, there have only been 4 states which have ever used the firing squad as a method of execution, and the practice has never been successfully challenged in court. The U.S. Supreme Court held that death by firing squad was not cruel and unusual in the case Wilkerson v. Utah in 1878.
Do they still use the electric chair?
Yes, they still do use it in some states but it is combined with another method as well, thus giving the prisoner a choice. For example Tennessee uses the chair and lethal injection. Others use the chamber and the firing squad. Very few still use hanging.

Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act in 1924 that allowed some Native Americans the vote However some states?
In 1924 American Indian world war I veterans came home to find that they still were not able to vote . To rectify that the Indian Citizen Act was passed giving the Indian that right. However, many of the states still denied the American Indian this basic right. Arizona did not allow Indians to vote until they could read and write the US constitution without any help until the US government forced them to repeal that state law in 1965. Maine would not allow Indians to vote until 1954 in federal elections and not until 1967 were they allow to vote in state elections. Utah held out until 1957 and New Mexico did not allow the Indian to vote until 1962. These states were not the only ones who defied federal law and did not allow the Indian the vote.
