So why are Laborites voting for the Stars and Bars?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Lesser of 2 evils I guess. Little known Confederate flag > Overt Confederate symbolism

Option 4 (the one with the red X over a white background) is the best option though.

Isn't option 4 the flag of Florida?

It's the Southern Cross, which is also the flag of Florida, yes.

Time for Frémont to invade, I guess! The stars and bars flying above Kansas is an unacceptable outcome.

You'd think someone would be able to come up with a flag with no confederate symbolism at all, but apparently not.

1) The winning design isn't the stars and bars.
2) The winning design isn't the flag of the south currently.
3) Calling for Invasion over the result of a referendum doesn't strike one as being a mature action for a former president of Atlasia.
4) The President made reference to mobilizing the national guard if option one (the most Stars and Bars like flag) wasn't chosen.

Obviously what they really want is Kansas, the flag is just pretext.

Indeed, the subjugation of the free state of Kansas by the rule of the same border ruffians and Southern imperialists who sacked Lawrence in 1856 is an awful injustice regardless of what banner the Chamber of Delegates sees fit to adopt. The late referendum merely makes the issue perfectly plain.
