Yep 
No The 2020 Mississippi flag referendum was a legislatively referred state statute appearing on the Nov iii, 2022 general ballot ballot in Mississippi.
Voters were asked whether the blueprint proposed by the Committee to Redesign the Mississippi State Flag, which does non contain the Amalgamated battle flag and includes the words "In God We Trust", should be adopted as the new official flag of Mississippi.[ane] The referendum passed by a 72.98% to 27.02% margin on November 3, 2022.[2] Voters were not given the option to retain the old, Confederate-based flag.[three]
Background [edit]
Official flag (pre-2020) 
2001 flag proposal 
After an before redesign proposal had been voted down in the 2001 Mississippi flag plebiscite and following the adoption of a new state flag by Georgia in 2003, the Mississippi flag remained the only U.South. state flag to include the Confederate boxing flag's saltire. In 2001, a survey conducted by the Due north American Vexillological Clan (NAVA) placed Mississippi's flag 22nd in design quality of the 72 Canadian provincial, U.Due south. country and U.S. territorial flags ranked.[4]
On June ix, 2022 lawmakers gathered votes and started drafting legislation to modify the state flag. The action came later on weeks of national protests post-obit the murder of George Floyd, including a protest exterior the Mississippi Governor's Mansion on June vi.[5] This was the first substantial activeness to change the country flag since the 2001 referendum. On June 11, Senate Democrats filed a resolution to alter the state flag.[6] On June 24, Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann announced his support for a new flag.[7] Hosemann was joined by Chaser General Lynn Fitch, State Accountant Shad White, Agriculture Commissioner Andy Gipson and Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney.[viii]
On June 28, 2022, the Mississippi Legislature passed a bill, House Bill 1796, that would relinquish the state flag, remove the country flag from public buildings inside xv days of the bill's constructive engagement and constitute a nine-member commission to blueprint a new flag that would be put to voters in a referendum to be held in November 2022.[9] [10] The bill required that the Confederate battle flag not be included on the proposed blueprint and the motto "In God We Trust" be included,[11] every bit Georgia did when it removed the Confederate emblem from its land flag in 2003. In the Firm, the neb was passed by 91 in favor and 23 against.[12] In the Senate, the pecker was passed with 37 in favor and xiv confronting.[13]
Reversing his earlier claimed position that the people, and not "a backroom bargain past a bunch of politicians", should brand the decision to modify the flag,[14] Governor Tate Reeves signed the flag bill into law on June 30, 2022. As the legislation repealed the sections of the Mississippi Land Code which made provisions for a state flag, namely Section iii-3-sixteen, Mississippi ceased to have an official land flag at this bespeak.[15] [16]
Proposed design [edit]
Committee to Redesign the Mississippi Country Flag [edit]
Nether the terms of House Beak 1796, a torso known as the Commission to Redesign the Mississippi State Flag was constituted to suggest a design for a new state flag no later than September 14, 2022. The pecker instructed the Mississippi Department of Archives and History to develop a plan for the removal of the 1894 flag from public buildings across the land and provide administrative support for the commission.[17] The deed stipulated that whatsoever design proposed by the commission must include the words "In God We Trust" and must non incorporate the Confederate boxing flag. The commission consisted of 9 members, three of which were appointed past the Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives, three members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi, and three by the Governor. Onetime state Supreme Court Justice Reuben Five. Anderson, who serves as president of the Lath of Trustees of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, was unanimously elected as the committee'southward chairman at its outset meeting on July 22.[18]
The five semifinalists selected by the committee on August 18, 2022
The proposed design would exist subject field to a referendum to be held meantime with the general ballot on November 3, 2022. Should the referendum result in a "yes" vote for the proposed pattern, then the pattern would be officially adopted as the new country flag of Mississippi during the next regular legislative session. Should the plebiscite result in a "no" vote for the proposed design, the commission would reconvene and propose different designs. The legislation stated that farther referenda could and then be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November of a year in which the commission makes a new recommendation until a "yes" vote is achieved. Mississippi would remain without an official land flag until a new one is adopted through this process. Voters were not given the pick to retain the previous, Confederate-based flag.[xix]
Phone call for public submissions [edit]
The Mississippi Department of Archives and History invited the public to submit designs for a new land flag on July 13.[17] In accordance with the rules imposed by House Pecker 1796, designs would only exist accepted if they independent the words "In God We Trust" and not include the Confederate battle flag. The commission as well added that suggestions would need to exist unique and adhere to principles of the North American Vexillological Clan: that the design should utilise only two or three basic colors, be elementary plenty for a child to draw, and have meaningful symbolism. Entries were to exist submitted by email or by post and be received by the commission by August 13, 2022 to exist considered.[20] The deadline was moved to August i to permit time for the commission to complete the pick process.[21]
Choice of finalists [edit]
"Peachy River Flag"
"The New Magnolia"
More than 2000 submissions (other estimates put this figure at 2800 images, but a few images were erroneously repeated) meeting the legislative criteria were received and displayed on the Mississippi Section of Archives and History website.[22] Each of the 9 commission members picked 25 flags, narrowing the listing downwards to 147.[23]
At an Baronial 14 meeting, the commission announced that they had selected nine proposals. These proposals, depicting various elements including a representation of the Mississippi River, magnolias, and stars equanimous of diamonds meaning to the Choctaw nation, had either red, white, and blueish or green and white color schemes. The committee announced that they would narrow these designs down to five finalists at its next meeting on August 18.[24] [25] Five semifinalists were published on August 18, and this was reduced to two finalists on Baronial 25.[26] [27] [28]
The final 2 flags were the "Great River Flag" designed by Micah Whitson and "The New Magnolia" designed past Rocky Vaughan, Sue Anna Joe, Kara Giles and Dominique Pugh.[29] [xxx]
On September 2, the commission voted viii–one to put the New Magnolia flag on the November election. Slight modifications were made to the original blueprint, including making the text bolder and the reddish and gold bars thicker. The flag is officially referred to as the "In God We Trust Flag".[31] Rocky Vaughan is credited with designing the flag's overall layout, with design support provided by Sue Anna Joe, Kara Giles and Dominique Pugh (who created the magnolia illustration featured in the center).[32] Micah Whitson was also given credit for the advent of the Native American star.[33]
The referendum passed by a 73% to 27% margin on November 3, 2022.[2] Information technology was then approved by the Mississippi State Firm of Representatives on Jan 5, 2022 and passed past the State Senate on Jan vi, 2022. It was then signed into constabulary by Governor Reeves on January 11, 2022, making the "In God We Trust Flag" the official state flag.[34]
Controversy [edit]
The Satanic Temple has threatened to sue the Country of Mississippi if the controversial phrase "In God We Trust" is included on the flag.[35] [36] [37] Americans United for Separation of Church and State declared the state's actions as trading "a white nationalist symbol for a Christian nationalist one".[38] Both The American Humanist Association and Americans United for Separation of Church building and State have published their own editorials in disagreement with the use of the phrase on a new flag.[39] [40]
"Permit Mississippi Vote" is a group that is campaigning for another referendum on a choice of four flag designs including the Magnolia flag that was adopted in the November 2022 referendum and the version that information technology replaced. Their aim is to give Mississippians a choice instead of voting on only i flag. The group reached their goal of 5000 volunteers and accept sent wording for their referendum to the Mississippi Attorney General's Role for blessing. They would demand the valid signatures of 106,190 Mississippi residents for the initiative to be placed on a ballot every bit early equally 2022.[41] [42] [43]
