The commission tasked with designing a new state flag selected five final options on Tuesday for the public to weigh in on after the state decided earlier this year to remove the Confederate emblem from their flag.Three of the flags feature a magnolia flower, Mississippi's state flower, in the center. On each of those flags, the flower is surrounded by a circle of stars to signify Mississippi's status as the 20th state. A fourth flag features a white magnolia tree on a blue background.
As of Monday afternoon, over 48,000 initial votes were cast in a public poll for Mississippians to choose their favorite of the nine."This shows Mississippi has a tremendous interest in what we're doing," commission chair Reuben Anderson said during Tuesday's meeting."We're sure not going to disappoint them.
