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.

Nope.  Every vote is the same.  Your vote it CT carries the exact same weight as mine.  One person.  One vote.

The difference is that if more people in CT vote for candidate A that candidate gets CT's EC votes.

You're right that I can't control the outcome in another state.

But the individual votes are the same for each of us.
