Swedish party blocs tied after Sunday vote, projections say
Early projections from the Swedish general election indicate a near-deadlock between the left and right political blocs, with only a 20,000-vote difference after half the votes were counted. The race pits Magdalena Andersson's Social Democrats against the conservative coalition led by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, which is supported by the hard-right Sweden Democrats. Key campaign issues included national security, gang crime, and welfare spending, while the Sweden Democrats appear to be losing support for the first time since 2010.
