I have always wondered what the point of the Electoral College was... and I finally found someone to explain it to me

So, in a sense, yes. My vote, your vote and everyone else's votes DO matter. But only to a certain extent. The popular vote in a state determines the Democratic or Republican votes of the Electoral College. However; if the Electoral College doesn't agree with the popular vote in their state, they can choose to vote the other way. So, no matter what, the state of the election is in the hands of those are are part of the Electoral College... Period.
