[EL] "Parry" votes

[Lorraine Minnite]

Does anyone have any information about how many "Rick Parry" write-ins were
cast in the Iowa straw poll?  I realize "Parrys" may have been counted as
"Perrys," and that given what people had to do to cast ballots, it's
unlikely they went to all that trouble and misspelled the name, but I'm
curious.  Any suggestions for how I can find out - are the full results a
matter of public record in Iowa?

Thanks.
