No guarantee but I think at this point the ballots are fixed except for write ins. If Biden drops out the DNC can change the official party candidate the EC electors vote for but the ballots are fixed. So in States that Trump wins it’s irrelevant and Trump gets that state’s electoral college votes. In states where “Biden” wins the electors will vote for or should vote for whoever the DNC selects. If it’s a tie vote of electoral college votes it goes to the House and each state has one vote and Trump wins.
But if Biden steps down, then Kamala is the candidate - what will that mean for the vote?
No she isn’t automatically the candidate. But let’s not sweat the details unless it really happens.
Does anybody know what happens?
People have already voted. They can’t just replace the candidate it would be a huge fucking shitstorm

That’s kinda fucked up that people cast their ballots for someone they didn’t vote for
