Might have. "Might of" is an error, most likely caused by the contraction "might've", which often sounds quite similar to "might of" when used in conversation. This is one of my favourite examples of a phrase being shaped by unintentionally imitating misheard speech rather than reading the phrase and allowing it to dictate the way it is pronounced, and later spelt. It is a big circle of miscommunication. "Might've" is sort of slang. "Might of" is not truly a real phrase. Many people make this mistake.
