Berlin voters are heading to polls in a state election where the conservative CDU, far-left Left Party, far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), and the Greens are separated by only a few percentage points, according to DW News. The tight four-way race makes coalition-building extremely difficult, with no predictable governing constellation emerging.
