Since an electoral college need not be swayed by popular vote does my vote really count?
Yes, your vote absolutely still counts; it is part of the electoral college for your state. For example, my state, Michigan, has 17 electoral votes. My vote, along with the other voters in Michigan, comprise those 17 electoral votes. Now, what can happen is that one candidate wins some states in a landslide, but the other candidate squeaks by in other states. The "squeaker" ends up with less popular votes (all votes tallied together), but more electoral votes (votes individualized by state). In that case, congratulations President Squeaker!
