Chileans vote in fiercely contested presidential election

        Chileans voters will decide Sunday whether to swing the world's top copper-producing country to the right or maintain its center-left path in a fiercely contested presidential runoff election.
        
        Polls had predicted that former President Sebastian Pinera would win the runoff. But the election was thrown into uncertainty after the billionaire businessman obtained a lower-than-expected turnout in November's first round of voting. He faces journalist and center-left Sen. Alejandro Guillier, who has been buoyed by support from Chile's hard left.
