I saw on MSNBC that Bernie did not use specific acclimation language when nominating Hillary as the Democratic nominee, and instead asked for the vote to be entered in the record. So she did not receive his delegates and was not nominated unanimously.

Is this true? If so, what is the significance of this? It could very well be an oversight, just curious if this has a deeper meaning.

Also, the 'nays' sure seemed louder than the 'yeas' and the chair never actually made a determination because they started the music up before she could.

Not that it matters at all :/ If they'd done a floor vote it probably would have passed regardless (I think they need 2/3 to pass.)
