It's one of the things the states burned in when they built up their respective faithless elector laws: if the guy at the top of the ticket is there, you have to cast your EC vote for them; if they are not, then for their VPE, and if neither, then some secret third thing (ie. differs state-to-state)

Funnily enough, "Secret Third Thing" just happens to be the favorite choice amongst the "Biden must withdraw!" crowd.
