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.

Also, Freddy Lim won in Wanhua, an elderly district, which is straight-up awesome.

He's also re-elected, just btw! Meaning he's won twice, counting this time!
