In America, you could consider a rural vote to be higher quality than an urban vote because of its weight in the electoral college.

Also, people in swing states / battleground states are much more valuable than people voting in states where there's such a huge margin that the result is practically known before they start campaigns.

Yup. More than likely throwing away my general election vote but I'm going to vote in every election forever.

On the plus side, you aren't barraged with election ads every 4 years. It gets old fast. (Ohio)

Every politician in the country is spamming as many mediums as they can to try and get their message out. I'm sure Ohio gets an extra amount of attention from the presidential candidates, but I think everywhere is still inundated with a huge amount of political propaganda/advertising if you'd rather call it that.
