Annapolis, MD – It wasn’t the job he’d hope to still be in the running for right now, but it’s a new opportunity just the same for former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.

O’Malley will join the board of All About The Vote, a nonprofit aimed at educating voters on ever-changing requirements in states instituting voter identification laws, the organization’s leaders announced Thursday.

โ€œWe are thrilled that Governor Oโ€™Malley has agreed to join our efforts. His strong record on voting rights makes him an outstanding national voice for our cause,โ€ AATV president Yvette Lewis said in a statement.
