A subtle error in a "change of variable" in a sum Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$, and let $E$ be a finite set. Let $\star$ be an action of $G$ on $E$.
Suppose that $G \star x_1,..., G \star x_m$ are the distinct orbits of elements in $E$. 
For each $i \in \{1,..,m\}$, define:
$$P_i = \bigcup_{\large t \in G \star x_i} G_{t} \times \{ t \}$$
Where $G_t$ denotes the stabilizer of $t$.
It is required to prove that for each $i$, $|P_i| = n = |G|$.
(Some background: this is part of an exercise whose aim is to establish Burnside's lemma)
I realize that my method is incorrect and I already know how to establish that $|P_i| = n$, but I am trying to understand what is wrong with the following (initial) reasoning of mine:
$$|P_i| = \left| \bigcup_{\large t \in G \star x_i } G_t \times \{t\} \right| = \sum_{\large t \in G \star x_i} \left| G_t \times \{t\}  \right| = \sum_{\large t \in G \star x_i} \left| G_t\right| = \sum_{a \in G} \left| G_{a \star x_i} \right| \\ = \sum_{a \in G} \frac{|G|}{|G \star (a \star x_i)|} = \sum_{a \in G}\frac{|G|}{|G \star x_i|} = \frac{|G|}{|G \star x_i|} \sum_{a \in G} 1 = \frac{|G|^2}{|G \star x_i|} = |G| \times |G_{x_i}|$$
Can someone point out my mistake?
My thoughts are that I went wrong when I "changed the variable" (hence the title), but I still can't figure out why would that be invalid.

$\sum\limits_{\large t \in G \star x_i} \left| G_t\right|$ counts the size of the stabilizer for each element in the orbit $G \star x_i$, so it ends up being the product $\lvert G_t\rvert \cdot \lvert G\star x_i\rvert$.
On the other hand, $\sum\limits_{a \in G} \left| G_{a \star x_i} \right|$ counts the size of the stabilizer for each element of the group, which still covers each element of the orbit, but potentially multiple times. So you are overcounting.
