They become worthless. You vote for a person, not a party. That is the risk you take with early voting.
No. You don’t vote for a person or the party. You are voting for Electors pledged to vote for someone. If the someone is gone, they will vote for someone else. Since all Electors are party stalwarts, have no illusions on who they will vote for if Biden is ‘gone’.

Sure you vote for a slate of electors. But say 10% of the Democrat votes went for a (deceased?) Joe Biden, and the rest went for Kamala Harris. You cant just
add the two together. The vote was for Biden, not Harris.
In the early years of this country, candidates from the same party frequently ran against each other. Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr were from the same party in the 1800 election. Each won or lost electoral votes on his own.

The electors vote for the person who won on Election Day. If that name is replaced, those during early voting are tossed.

Semantic haggling is a waste of time.
