Poll: After scrapping hated flag design, South Carolina lawmakers settle on these two possibilities

COLUMBIA, S.C. - After a first flag design was resoundingly rejected by South Carolinians across the state, lawmakers went back to the drawing board and approved two possible designs Tuesday.

The designs were approved as part of an effort to standardize South Carolina’s flag, something that hasn’t been done since the Legislature repealed part of the state code requiring an official design in 1940.

South Carolina currently does not have a standardized flag design, meaning flags spotted all over the state may be slightly different. For example, the flag flying over the State House dome and the flags inside of the House and Senate chambers are different.

Scott Malyerck, a member of the design committee, said the design differences are due to using different manufacturers and not having a standardized design for them to follow.

And my first thought was that they looked Middle Eastern. Nothing wrong with that, just reminded me.
