So if Biden takes exactly 270 EVs...

[Girard442]

...I wonder what steps could be taken to discourage a potential faithless elector from flipping and bringing the whole thing crashing down.

1. He won't take only 270.

[bullimiami]

2. id prefer not to have that situation.

3. Forget about it, Biden is going over 270

[Dem2]

4. Wouldn't it be just as likely for a Trump one who lost by 8 million votes to flip the other way?

5. Those electors are hand-picked by campaigns

and they will be loyal democrats who have had a thorough background search.

6. Whoever that elector was

Better have a plan for getting out of the country. If you thought Steve Bartman was unpopular in Chicago, he would look like a hero compared to a faithless elector who voted for Trump.
