Scott, Would you provide more detail on how to use this? I tried it just now with NVDA and was using tab key which jumped in an odd order from one state to another. Hitting enter when landing upon a particular state sometimes focused on that

Scott,

Would you provide more detail on how to use this?  I tried it just now with NVDA and was using tab key which jumped in an odd order from one state to another.  Hitting enter when landing upon a particular state sometimes focused on that state, other times did not.  Landed on New Mexico and it visually showed a zoomed in view then move county by county but again did nothing when I hit enter on one of the counties.

Thanks,

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?
