Saxony in times or the Weimar Republic (1920's) had a strong social-democratic tradition. After 1990, however, it is traditional conservative, giving them in times even an absolute majority.

They seem to have been performing quite well with a CDU-lead government: they have lower unemployment and better education systems than the SPD-run east german states.Comment

Hehe, looks like I was staying in the only Grüne seat in the country, yet the east of Berlin seems to be dominated by Die Linke...interesting. I also see Ec is in the only CDU area of BerlinOriginally posted by siron

Anyway, I think Saxony should have pre-congress boarders + the Cottsbus (Chociebuz; whatever in german) exclave, to keep all the Lusatians in one land.
I have one question: there's a blank spot in Saxony. Is it a lake, or some major city?"I realise I hold the key to freedom,

Thats Dresden.
The election in Dresden was postponed by Germany's federal election commissioner after Kerstin Lorenz, the candidate for the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party (NPD) died of a stroke last week. A replacement has already been found in Franz Schönhuber, the former national leader of another right wing-extremist party, but there isn't enough time to reprint ballots before Sunday."Football is like chess, only without the dice."

How long will it take before the votes are in for Dresden? Would it be capable of having a significant impact on the current balance?

Shortly after the reunification CDU was ahead in most new Laender (except Brandenburg and East-Berlin IIRC).
With Prof. Biedenkopf the CDU had a charismatic figure in Saxony. He did a good job and therefore he was able to keep his good results (above 50%). Recently the NPD is quite strong there."Football is like chess, only without the dice." Lukas PodolskiComment

No significant impact.
The best explanation is here:
Der Abstand zwischen Union und SPD könnte sich somit auf 224:223 verringern, sich aber auch auf 226:222 erhöhen.
The CDU could actually lose an Ueberhangmandat. but thats all."Football is like chess, only without the dice." Lukas PodolskiComment
