Sorry.. Legislatures has the power to delegate that work and has been delegated to the Secretaries of State. It has been called out in multiple court rulings.

That was actually brought up in Bush v Gore in 2000.
It was scotus decided that yes, legislatures can delegate powers, but no matter what they do; the legislature can never lose this power as it is specifically enumerated in Article 2.
This became moot in 2000 as the recount ended discussion.
Of the states in question, I do not believe GA, MI, or AZ legislatures delegated powers to the Gov or AGs, but I could be mistaken on that.
