I Scanned 42 US Government Websites Two Weeks Before the ADA Title II Deadline

What 42 Government Websites Actually Look Like On April 24, 2026, a piece of the ADA that most people never thought about becomes enforceable. State and local governments must make their websites and mobile apps accessible using WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. You have 16 days left if you live in a place with more than 50,000 people. I wanted to know how ready the states are. Not through abstract concepts, self-reported data, or press releases claiming commitment to accessibility. I wanted numbers I could generate myself in an afternoon with a free tool so anyone reading this could reproduce them. I found states where I could access both the executive and judicial branch websites, then tested each one with axe-core. Twenty-six pairs loaded from both sides. I also chose twenty major US cities because Title II applies to local governments and most Americans use city websites to access public services. Three of my colleagues from the judicial system told me that courts are performing worse.
