Hello,
 
Is there any page describing this effort that can be used to share this with
others beyond just a link to this map.
 
I am looking forward to trying this out in detail Tuesday evening. It seems
promising just from exploring already and a sincere thanks to any and all
for this effort. I've wanted something like this for years, decades in fact.
 
Kelly

Pleased to share this news from Pete Bossley - Senior Accessibility Manager,
Thomson Reuters. 
 
This is a proud leader moment: our accessibility team, in close
collaboration with our Reuters colleagues have worked to make our 2024
election map results data more accessible. With a fundamental motivation of
providing people with disabilities the same rich look at election results
that others can have, the teams worked hard to put design, product and
engineering together with accessibility. Our map is fully navigable by
keyboard, including the ability to zoom into states and counties The entire
map, at all levels, will have useful screen reader announcements throughout
Font sizes, colors and patterns were all chosen with the latest WCAG
standards in mind We want feedback from the community! What worked, what
didn't? What features would you love to see in future election cycles? Send
us feedback at accessibility at thomsonreuters.com
