Voters  obtained ballots, called tickets, from the political parties and

list of its  presidential electors, and often times the ballots were
printed in variant  forms in different parts of the state.

Nice to hear from you. So what you're saying is that if there was no
Republican party presence in a southern county, say like Raleigh County, VA,  then it
is likely that no one would vote for that party's candidate. So it would  be
like being on "the ballot" at all.
Sincerely,
