Nothing happens. The ballots are for the Democrat slate of electors, not SloJoe
They are for the Biden-Harris slate of electors, not the Democrat slate since the Constitution makes no reference to political parties.

I think you’ve got it exactly right. If Biden bows out - or is forced out - the DNC gets to choose his replacement. And those D electors will (out of party loyalty) vote for whomever the DNC picks...Michelle, Hillary, Pee Wee Herman, etc.
Actually, the ballots would be for electors pledged to Joe Biden, not the Democratic Party. The Supreme Court ruled, earlier this year that electors must vote for the candidate to whom they are pledged.
