Final answer:
Election cybersecurity measures in the United States are a blend of state-specific laws and federal legislations, such as the Help America Vote Act of 2002, aimed at strengthening the integrity of election processes.
Step-by-step explanation:
As of 2020, all legislation that has been passed to protect elections from cybersecurity threats are part of state-specific cybersecurity laws and federal laws aimed at election security.
While state election commissions and agencies set their own parameters around voting, the federal government supports states in administering elections and addresses concerns such as election security. The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002 is one example of federal legislation aiming to improve election processes, including cybersecurity. Furthermore, the Department of Homeland Security has become more involved in safeguarding elections.
By contrast, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act focuses on combating fraud and related activities in computers but is not specifically tailored to elections. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is actually a European Union regulation, and therefore it does not apply to the United States. Lastly, the Electronic Communication Protection Act deals more with privacy and the protection of electronic communications rather than the specifics of election security.
