Well, that wasn't much of a choice

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi will fly a new state flag with a magnolia and the phrase “In God We Trust,” with voters approving the design Tuesday. It replaces a Confederate-themed flag state lawmakers retired months ago as part of the national reckoning over racial injustice. 

The magnolia flag was the only design on the general election ballot, and voters were asked to say yes or no. A majority said yes.
