Suppose Harris then replaces him with Clinton or whoever. What would happen to the votes already cast for Harris / walt? Would they automatically go to Harris / Clinton? Or would those ballots be considered essentially wasted? Maybe it's different state by state. Does anyone know?

This seems to show that the last date for Democrats to replace a candidate is around late August or early september. It then has separate rules what they do if the candidate drops off after the election. I can't see anywhere here where it explains what to do in the situation that I described.
