Information on infobox map

I propose a new version of the infobox map series in all of the Taiwan presidential elections, as I view there are flaws that do not reflect the nature of Taiwanese politics, especially where third-party candidates (or third-placed candidates) have more visibility and have shown to be able to garner a higher vote share than in countries such as the US, and even lead in township-level units (as is the case in the 2000 and 2016 elections, and in county-level units here). Comparing only the top-two tickets creates an illusion that Taiwan is strictly a two-party system. Shading the township-level units by vote lead also skews the display towards heavily-populated areas. A few proposals on how to fix this:

1. Displaying just the county-level results in the infobox (pros: simple, easy to understand; cons: creates an illusion of a federal system though the French election page also uses it)

2. Displaying the township-level vote share (cons: skews results towards large jurisdictions)

3. Fixing the current set of maps by showing instead the vote difference between leader and runner-up in the township-level units Tjs2012 (talk) 18:50, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
