Is the power of the vote just a lie?

So far, I have watched one state use coin tosses to determine the winner of a vote, and have seen something called a "superdelegate" used to make the loser of the vote have more representation than the winner.
We have voting districts that don't represent the shape of anything except the areas of a place that are most likely to vote for the side creating the voting map.
And if the primary choice of the states doesn't coincide with the established parties plans, they can ignore the primary votes and chose whoever they want.
Then, at the actual election, we the people, who think they are voting for the person they want, are voting for a representative in the electoral college who can vote however they want.
If every single person in the USA wrote in the same name, a 100% agreement, the electoral college would still be able to choose whoever that wanted.

Its time for each person born in the USA to be given the vote at age 18, whether or not they register, we all have a social security number, it should come with a vote.  And if the total vote for a person is higher than the other person, that person should win.

It should not be that if 49% wants one and 51% wants the other, then that state is all voting for the 51% person. 

Every vote should count. 

If the people screw up, it should be because they screwed up, not because the rules were made so convoluted that the people have no idea who won the vote.  And not because they were manipulated by those same rules to feel that the person in office is who most people wanted, so they deserve what they get.

Popular vote may not have worked in ancient Greece, but it was ANCIENT Greece, a place without equality except for the citizens, not the servants, not the slaves, not the females, just the very special citizens.  And it didn't work forever there.

Its time for real equality, real democracy.  Its time for the Vote of the People to be the Truth.
