Here’s the transcript. I don’t see a link to the audio yet.  (Audio now at the link, and I heard “repors” for the first time.)

UPDATE:  A Twitter reader directs me to the Iowa code on write-ins, which Ames counters plan to use.  In particular, this provision seems important:

26.20(5) Names. The officials tabulating write-in votes shall disregard misspellings or variations in names or abbreviations for write-in candidates and shall count the variations in the form of the name for a single person if the officials can determine for whom the write-in votes were cast. Write-in votes for fictitious characters shall be tabulated as written.
