Need help from native speakers...

Could you please help me listen to a few words?

1. In a rare turn of events they are also ** voters in the same part of the state.

I can't understand the second one

I can't understand the second one

Thank you. The second one is a name. I'm not good at spelling English names.

Neither can I.

It sounds like Initials to me, "S.B. Dante", or "S.P. Dante".

It sounds like that. But it could also be a word or something. And I cannot find such a name on google. If it were S.B. or S.P. Dante, it should be googled. Thank you for your help. "courting" is exactly the word I was looking for.

It sounded like that to me too, or "Nesti Dante" or something. I've Googled that and even though there are a lot of hits, none of them are for a broadcaster from NPR. I've searched the NPR website and can't find anything that seems even vaguely likely on there. Do you have a link to the whole original broadcast instead of just that short clip?

Yes, I've uploaded. This is the part for that particular report with that name. http://snd.sc/WpNl6J

This is the original broadcast of around 5m: http://snd.sc/OFyLZt

I'm making this transcript for a website. So I'm trying to make it perfect. This is the only problem left. But problems such as this are quite rare.
