<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We’re super proud of this work and would be happy to answer any questions you have that we are able to. I will also discuss a public blog post discussing the effort in more detail. Speaking as a blind screen
reader user myself, I too have always wanted something like this, and so this year we decided we would give it a try. While I don’t think it is perfect, for example we have work to do to make it mobile friendly, it is a solid initial effort.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any page describing this effort that can be used to share this with others beyond just a link to this map.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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 <a href="mailto:accessibility@thomsonreuters.com">
