I voted from Trump, but all of the electoral votes for my state went to Clinton.

"One man, one vote" is not what the EC does.

Your logic is faulty.

Somebody wins every election. The fact that your favorite did not get even a participation trophy does not make your vote less, it only indicates that the sum of votes of your preference did not exceed that of others in the same election.

Note that there is not one presidential election, but one in each state. That election determines the allocation of electors from that state.

What is it when 14 states making up 70% of 270 get to maybe 18 states crossing 270?

We will have a minority of states telling the majority of states that they can't have the Electoral College's natural boundaries anymore.
