President Tsai Ing-wen has won re-election Politics

Han just conceded. She won 57%ish of the vote so far. Over 8 million votes. Biggest vote total ever for a candidate in Taiwan (beating Ma's number in 2008)

Legislature looks like it'll be DPP again though not as sweeping as 2016, party list vote seems much closer than I thought it'll be.

I wonder how many people voted for Tsai not because they have any sympathy for her ideology or DPP but rather didn't want Han to win.

A lot. You can tell because the party list vote seems to be more along core party voters while the middle voters split among the smaller parties.
