Exactly Exactly.
And what it does is discourage some votes which ruins the whole "democratic vote"
For intance. If you are in a "blue state" like california. Which has been called for the democratic party each time but once (Regan's win).
And you live in california and want to vote republican, there is no point, becuase the majority will vote blue and the EC will go to the democratic party and if you did vote republican then your vote is worthless.
