Poll: After scrapping hated flag design, South Carolina lawmakers settle on these two possibilities [View all]
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approved as part of an effort to standardize South Carolinas flag, something that hasnt been done since the Legislature repealed part of the state code requiring an official design in 1940.
