Here Comes German Election Results...
REUTERS/Thomas Peter Germans are voting today to decide who will run their country.
The first results print at noon eastern.
Incumbent Chancellor Angela Merkel's largely liberal (the Europe version) coalition, is expected to remain in control for a third term.
But there are two spoilers to look out for, as our Matt Boesler has highlighted.
One is the leftist Social Democratic Party. Polls show there is a good chance they could wedge their way into Merkel's coalition.
If they do, SocGen has said, they are likely to ask for more taxes to fund social programs, putting a drag on German (and potentially Eurozone) GDP.
The other wildcard is the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party.
They are anti-Eurozone, and if they do well, it will likely come at the price of Free Democrat votes, the main coalition partner for Merkel's Christian Democrat party.
If AfD gets more than 5% of the vote, according to the Guardian, the coalition could fall apart.
