Why Delaware Passed During the Democratic Convention Roll Call

During the DNC roll call vote where each state voted for the nominee during the Democratic National Convention, Delaware chose to pass during the roll call. Why?

It’s because Delaware is Joe Biden’s home state.

CNN reported that Delaware passed because the state wants to be the deciding vote for Biden. As Biden’s home state, Delaware will be the decisive vote rather than participating in alphabetical order. This actually isn’t unusual for the DNC roll call vote.
