A pair of upcoming German state elections could show whether the center-left Social Democrats can win back the momentum they need to deny conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel a fourth term. Sunday’s vote in Schleswig-Holstein and the May 14 election in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state, are the last tests at the ballot box before a national election in September.
