Taiwan is holding its largest-ever recall vote, with the fate of 24 opposition lawmakers on the line. The results could dramatically shift the balance of power in the legislature. TaiwanPlus goes to a local polling station to see what voters are thinking. Correction: The report mentions that for a lawmaker to be recalled, 25% of eligible voters must turn out and more than 50% of those must vote in favor. Rather, 25% of voters in a district must vote in favor of recall, with the number of "yes" votes outnumbering "no" votes.
