Full DNC roll call, state by state
The state-by-state roll call at the Democratic National Convention was a lively affair with several surprise appearances. Here's the entire event as it unfolded in (mostly) alphabetical order.
Democrats turned a traditionally cheesy roll call vote into the ultimate dance party at their national convention Tuesday night, with DJ Cassidy spinning a special song for each state and territory awarding their delegates to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Most of the songs chosen were special to each state, like Detroit native Eminem's "Lose Yourself" for Michigan, Dropkick Murphys' "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" for Massachusetts and Tupac Shakur's "California Love" for California.

Perhaps the biggest and most unexpected roll call vote came from Georgia: Atlanta's Lil Jon was there in person, dancing through Chicago's United Center to the beats of "Turn Down for What," his song with DJ Snake.

Top 7 moments from the DNC roll call
New Jersey, Indiana, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and California all provided memorable moments. But it was Georgia and Lil Jon who brought down the house.
Minnesota went with "1999" by Paisley Park’s own Prince. Indiana, with Astin by the microphone, went with Gary native Michael Jackson’s "Don’t Stop ’til You Get Enough." Nevada played "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers, the synth pop band from Las Vegas. Kansas went with "Carry On My Wayward Son" by the rock band Kansas. New Jersey went with Bruce Springsteen’s "Born in the USA."
"Under one groove nothing can stop us now," DJ Cassidy said over Springsteen’s anthem.
