By my vote in PA is exactly the same as yours in wherever.

Actually, this is not true.

Your vote counts the same as any other Pennsylanians does in Pennsylvania, true. However, your vote counts dick in any other state. My vote cast here in Connecticut counts the same as any other resident of CT. But, it counts absolutely 0 towards the votes counted in PA. 

So, if you and I both voted for Johnson (and I don't know who you voted for, nor do I care - it's your vote), for example, that doesn't mean our votes count the same nationally. No, your vote counts only in PA, mine counts only in CT.
