An individual vote is never going to make a difference in an election. Individual votes only really mater when they express the preferences of the voter. Both EC and popular votes encourage strategic voting that doesn't necessarily reflect the preference of the voter. Ranked choice (instant runoff) encourages voters to vote for candidates that they actually support since their votes will never hurt any of their values.
