Does anyone know at what point in the roll call vote Hillary will clinch the nomination?

Will the roll call continue to the end of the alphabet even if one of the nominees has secured the nomination?

Of course, I'm assuming that Sanders will not take a page from Hillary's 2008 play book and move for nomination by acclamation.

States will move up, or back in the order as needs be.

So, probably Ohio or Florida.

it would have shown exactly how close the race between Clinton and Obama really was.

Clinton had released her delegates and during the roll call moved to nominate Obama by acclamation.

California was moved out of alphabetical voting order because the delegation "passed".

And later, Illinois yielded to NY so that Hillary herself could move for the vote by acclamation.

before the Alphabetical roll-call got to NY , allowing Hillary to call for "acclamation" as part of the party unity process.

It would take a lot more than CA to "pass" to let Bernie do the same from VT!

At least according to my memory. It was a very cool moment and showed a lot of class on her part.

She clinches at Tennessee (2391 delegates) or Texas (2559 delegates), going alphabetically, depending on shifting CA delegates. Idk if they will continue on after that or if they will have some big confetti moment at 2383. They may move Virginia since it's a swing state and may move NY back so that it's the one that puts her over the top. I would make an interesting parallel to her 2008 call for a vote for Acclimation at NY.
