SCOTUS ruled that "legislature thereof" in the context of the Elections Clause included the governor's veto under the state's ordinary veto override rules in a 1930's congressional redistricting case called Smiley v. Holm.  With that precedent, the Biden win is safe because Wolf, Whitmer, and Evers would veto the assignment of Trump electors in PA/MI/WI.  They could only flip AZ and GA this way.
