I heard that if I am of a registered party and I don’t vote for my party’s candidate, my vote won’t count?

I heard from a friend that if I am registered to a particular political party and I don’t vote for that party’s candidate in the November election, my vote won’t be counted. My friend is absolutely CONVINCED that this is true, but it sounds hokey to me. Does anyone know if this is true? I live in Florida, if that makes any difference.
Haha thanks guys; I feel like a moron for believing her. It’s not like I put my name on the ballot; they have no CLUE what party I am, who I am, or who I vote for. Haha. Thanks!

Of course that’s not true. I’m Australian and even I know that’s not true.

Absolutely not true; even in Florida. Party affiliation only matters during the Primary elections.

That is not true at all. Your friend must be thinking about the primaries.

Not true. The only time you cannot vote outside your own party is during the nominations.

Lies, all lies. That’s only in the primary.

Your vote will count no mater which party you vote for. No one knows who you vote for unless you tell them. You may be registered for one party or another, but that doesn’t mean you always have to vote for people in that party all the time.
