Contrast of focused item (options) in select element

The default browser contrast (IE, Firefox, Chrome under Windows) for the focused state of option items in a select element does not meet minimum contrast under SC 1.4.3. The focused colors don't appear to be changing using pseudo classes :focus or :selection they remain white on blue

What are peoples thoughts on contrast violations for platforms that can't be changed by the author?  Is there a work around that someone has found for this?

Best Regards,

Jonathan
