Clinton-2016 states (232) + MI (16) + WI (10) + AZ (11) + ME-2 (1) gives Biden exactly 270 EV. I don't think it will come down to that but it is a nice backup plan.

It is also a nice backup-backup plan if Biden wins by more but Dump tries to contest one or more states. Dump can't use that to cheat a win if doing so would still leave Biden at 270. As an example if Biden got the above states but also barely won PA that would give him 290 EV. Dump contesting PA and trying to get some ballots thrown out wouldn't alter the election because he was successful Biden would still have 270 EV.
