This paper aims to examine the relationship between the 2024 US presidential election and information warfare, focusing on the disinformation measures taken by the US government to prevent interference in the presidential election from foreign governments and organizations believed to be supported by them. If information warfare is understood as “a form of political warfare by a nation targeting the government, military, private sector, and general public,” then if a nation engages in disinformation activities to guide the will of American voters and influence their voting behavior, it is information warfare for that nation.
In this paper, we examined disinformation measures in the 2024 presidential election from the perspectives of the decentralization of election security, federal government measures, support from the federal military, sanctions, and state law regulations. We also considered new challenges, and finally considered the relationship between elections and information warfare.
