On Tuesday, when Georgians go to the polls to vote in the presidential preference primary, they will also have the chance to demonstrate their choice of state flags. The vote is a non-binding referendum, meaning the current flag will continue to fly regardless of which flag receives the most votes. The symbol would not undergo another change unless the state Legislature passes a bill and the governor signs new legislation.Since the vote is non-binding, many Georgians may choose not to participate. However, if the 2001 flag receives more votes, it could create a situation in which this highly controversial issue once again dominates our conscience.
1. The 2001 Blue Georgia Flag pushed through by Former Gov’r Barnes
2. The 2003 / Current Georgia flag pushed through by Gov’r Perdue
A February poll by Beth Shapiro says 48% would choose Barnes’ flag; whereas, only 39% would choose Perdue’s flag. 7% are undecided and 5% would vote for another flag, presumably the 1958 flag with the St. Andrews cross on it.
