My Presidential Vote is Worth More Than Yours

I may not be able to quantify the value of someone's presidential vote, but it would seem clear that there is a difference in the value among votes. Your vote for president may have almost no chance of swaying the election and my vote may have a much greater chance. How can this be? If you live in a state where people statistically vote for a republican president most of the time, your vote has very little significance if you are a democrat. You can still vote, but statistically your vote will likely be thrown away as soon as the opposing party "wins" your state's electoral college vote. As we saw with the election of George W. Bush there were fewer votes for him than for Al Gore. Clearly, each vote for Bush was worth more. Each person who voted for Bush got more say in the election. The system is flawed; shouldn't it be fixed?
