Then all early ballots for Biden would need to be discarded. Were Clinton to replace Biden in October every ballot cast for Biden could not in any way be transferred to Clinton of whoever takes Biden’s place.

There is the argument that when the Party formally replaces a candidate whether that candidate withdrew voluntarily or for reasons of incapacity the Electors are free to vote for the Party's replacement. I.e., there is no "faithful elector" issue due to impossibility and, as a practical matter, who else are they going to vote for?

Which of the two possibilities sounds most reasonable?

But the electors are themselves elected. So any votes for the electors pledged to Biden prior to his replacement must be discarded. While NY,Cal, Ill, Ma would not matter, Mi, Fl, Wi, Mn, Az, Va, Pa most certainly would.
