According to the National Institutes of Health, 8% of the U.S. population is living with an autoimmune disease, and out of that percentage, 80% of those people are women. Dr. Howard Chang, a dermatologist, a professor of dermatology and genetics and a Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Stanford University, discusses his latest research which, explores why women are at a greater risk of autoimmune diseases.
Plus, the Georgia State Election Board recently approved a rule that could allow for local election boards to refuse certification of results. The board is already facing a lawsuit for allegedly meeting illegally. Marisa Pyle, the senior democracy defense manager at All Voting is Local Georgia, discusses her organization's concerns with the policy proposals, and why they believe the board is moving to disenfranchise Georgians.
