TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwanese voted today in a closely fought presidential election that pits incumbent Ma Ying-jeou’s vision of better relations with China against his main challenger’s attempts to galvanize resentment over growing income inequality.
Ma and Tsai Ing-wen of the main opposition Democratic Progressive Party have been crisscrossing the island for weeks in a campaign, offering their competing visions for Taiwan’s future.
ap surveys published a week ago — the last permitted under Taiwanese law — showed Ma clinging to a slim 3 to 4 percentage point lead that was within the statistical margin of error.
