Didn’t the people of Mississippi vote to keep it in a ballot referendum just a few years back?

And that is what Nikki Haley should have done for South Carolina as well.
Yes, we did, and by a decisive majority. So I don’t see how any politician can just take it upon himself to say he’ll get rid of it. The voters voted to keep our flag, in strong numbers. It was voted upon, passed overwhelmingly, and is part of our state flag, which makes this somewhat different from the situation in South Carolina. Not that the left hasn’t ever disregarded the vote of the people to advance their agenda (see the gaystap and the propositions they had overturned by the courts).
