This was an internet rumor started by a bogus email campaign.
Examples of the bogus emails can be found here.

And as I've already ranted, I feel as though voting in the general election my vote doesn't matter because I come from a liberal state (due to the electoral college system; it's not the populous, it's the STATE that matters when determining winning - Just look at the Bust/Gore fiasco). As for primaries and local elections, yes, I do feel as though it's important to vote because it's there more than anywhere else that your vote counts.
Oh, and if you're from a swing state. In that rare case, you might actually be able to make a difference.
