If the ballot, (Presidential portion) for the different counties, was laid
out identically, and the counties had a similar number of older voters, yes.

I can't say for sure without knowing the ballot layouts for those counties
and the number of older votors in those counties.

Nobody needed to tell the votors.  The election officials should have
changed the ballot layouts for better ergonomics right after the 1996
elections.  The election officials were the ones who didn't do their job.
Clearly, they should redo the ballots before the next election.
