Unless the law does not allow it....sure....why not? Not everyone is as scummy as the Clintons, Gore, Kerry, etc....

Hypothetical question with too few facts. What "election details," and what does "certification of the election results" entail?

Take it you are referring to Florida and Catherine Harris? I'd need more background on state law there and the role of the Sec. of State under Fla. law. With respect to specifics of your post, What are "election details"? Are they ministerial acts, dealing with staffing polling places, hours, etc? What is "certification of the election results"? Again, is it a ministerial act or is discretion involved? What kind of review and accountability is there under the law? Finally, I'd have to say, if there is no prohibition under state conflict of interest laws, then no problem.
