Why it matters

Wrong ARIA is worse than no ARIA. A role that contradicts the element, or a reference to an id that does not exist, hides content instead of exposing it.

How to fix it

Remove ARIA that duplicates native semantics, point aria references at ids that exist, and use roles that match the element.
