This paper will investigate the literature surrounding cyber security threats in the 2020 US Elections. It begins with a brief overview of cyber security and the current state of cyber security regarding elections. In the main body of the paper, the focus will be on the literature review of three main areas: voter suppression, voter fraud, and disinformation, considering their impacts on the outcome of the election and on the voting public. Having evaluated sources on each this paper concludes by summarising the areas which have had the greatest impact on the 2020 US elections.
