This article is pretty worthless. Congressional races are notoriously uncompetitive. Young people can't be counted on to vote.

At the end of the day, the voters of Texas-21 simply didn't care about SOPA as much as the internet did, and reelected their perfectly decent (in their eyes) representative.
