I noticed you annotated these as errors. Automated testing tools
are notorious for warnings that aren't accessibility issues; just asking
if you can qualify the severity or degree of their errors? I thought
your blog entry would be better if you could qualify them, such as you
did generically with the input form issue.

I looked at one or two and offered to speak to their web teams
or vendors or in-house staff. While I don't necessary support anyone in
particular, they all should be as inclusive as possible. If anyone else
here gets a response and needs help, please don't hesitate to ask; I'm
glad to help if I can.

Wouldn't it be great to have at least one campaign website that meets
accessibility standards?

I just ran a little accessibility "test" on some of the websites of the
"major" US presidential candidates and a few of the exploratory campaign
sites. I've posted the sad results on my blog:
