I don't know that I can put my disagreement more clearly than in the second paragraph of the comment you replied to, but to answer your question nonetheless: I think your summary suffers from lying by omission. You are not saying anything that is false, but an uninformed reader is likely to be misled by your text into falsely thinking that their vote matters more than it really does.
I deeply value honesty, and I wouldn't offer an argument if I thought it would be misunderstood by the relevant readers. But I can't really imagine there are many people that will read my article (especially given that I'm sharing it here and among my personal friends), find it a persuasive reason to vote (compared to more emotional appeals), and yet not understand how the Electoral College works.
