This means that Biden can drop out and be replaced by someone else

Many states tie the electors to the actual names on the ballot. To vote for somebody else (even in the same party) would be a faithless elector.

We're not discussing the votes that the Electors cast, we're discussing the vote FOR the Electors in the first place.

There is relevant election law (per state) that says that a deceased or withdrawn candidate on the ballot shall still count for the corresponding party's Electors.

This is going to destroy the Biden campaign? It should but I am not feeling it. At all.
