Just curious about the roll call [View all]

not being a parliamentarian..

In 2008, when it was New York turn - in the middle of the alphabet more or less - Clinton approached the stage and suggested that Obama would be nominated by acclimation (is this the term?)

Now they waited all the way to the end, Vermont (I think that Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming leaped frog) for Sanders to do the same.

What would have been the alternative? Sitting with a calculator to tally the votes and then declare Clinton the winner?

On MSNBC, I think, they said that while we saw the tally on the TV screen, the delegates in the arena did not. Did not know that S. Dakota put her on top (kinda hard to believer with everyone smartphone connected to the word, sitll..)

Just wondering..
