HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026508.txt
The document discusses the topic of ranked choice voting and its impact on voter turnout and political representation. It mentions an article from Cato Unbound that argues that ranked choice voting may lead to lower turnout and more errors, but does not have a significant effect on ethnicity. The writer expresses skepticism about this claim and suggests that ranked choice voting could increase the diversity of candidates by allowing for the election of centrists who are closer to the median voter's preferences. However, the document also mentions an argument that ranked choice voting increases turnout, but only if voters are given the option to rank as many or as few candidates as they like. The writer concludes that this topic is a "big nothingburger" and not worth discussing in depth.

Leon Black, CEO of Apollo Global Management LLC, is considering the potential tax implications of the new U.S. tax regime for his firm and other Wall Street firms. Publicly traded partnerships like Apollo are taxed differently than corporations, so there is a decision to be made about whether to take advantage of the overhauled tax rules or convert to an Inc. from an LLC, which would increase its tax bill but allow it to attract investments from mutual funds. The new lower corporate rate has made it possible for bigger publicly traded partnerships to consider this change.
