Greece Voters Head to Snap General Elections Sunday 
----------------------------------------------------


 
Voters in Greece are headed to the polls for a snap general election
Sunday. Syriza party leader Alexis Tsipras and conservative New
Democracy party leader Vangelis Meimarakis are nearly tied in the polls.
Meanwhile, dozens of former Syriza lawmakers are now running with the
new anti-bailout party Popular Unity. Former Prime Minister Alexis
Tsipras forced the snap elections after he resigned last month.
