We will actually not be on the ballot in those states if we tried that maneuver

Nevada:
Nevada does not allow a candidate to be replaced after the fourth Friday of June. Oops. We missed that deadline. If Biden drops out, there go all of the Dem votes for that state. Biden would be left on the Nevada ballot, and we just would not have a running Dem on the ballot there.
Georgia:
Georgia allows a candidate to withdraw from the ballot up to 60 days prior to the election. However, no new candidate will be placed on the ballot and all votes for the withdrawn candidate will not be counted towards a new candidate. There go all the votes for Biden.
Wisconsin:
Wisconsin only allows for death to remove a candidate from the ballot."
But wait, theres more!!!!

So unless those asking Biden to step aside can show that we will not be allowed certain states ballots, perhaps they need to take a step back
