I think the roll call is exciting, and don't understand the Clinton supporters here who wanted to short-circuit it. I felt the same way in 2008 when I was on the other side.

Bernie Sanders and Mrs. Sanders are with the delegation. Lots of applause.

Vermont casts 22 votes for Sanders and 4 for Clinton.

Bernie Sanders rises..... "I move that the convention suspend the rules... and I move that Hillary Clinton (be nominated) for President of the United States!"

Nominated by acclamation!
