They mean very slightly different things... let me show you an example: All the children in the school were scared when the lights went out. This means all of the children that were in the school... All children on earth are under 18 years old. This talks about a collective of all children who live on earth as one thing. All the states that have big cities voted for change. (which states? all of the states that have cities!) All states may designate their own license plate designs. (who can? all states can!)

I think more correct in this occasion will be - all states.
