I think the dems may be trying to set up an argument if they lose Michigan for an Electoral Votes challenge like they did in Ohio in 2004.

Unfortunately, Since the GOP probably won't take back the Senate and even though they may take back the House, any electoral vote challenge in a split situation would go back to the Governor.

If you're talking about the MI House and Senate designating the recipient of electoral votes for MI, only they can do it. Under Article II of the US Constitution the Governor has no authority over Presidential electors whatsoever.
