The article pretty much nails it.

By the rule of law - no. Biden never was the official nominee, since the nominee doesn't become official until after the convention, and the Supreme Court just recently (regarding states' attempts to remove Trump from their ballots) ruled that the states don't have the final say anyway.

So that's pretty much that There's no basis by which they could even vaguely legitimately rule that Biden must remain on the ballot, or even allow a state to rule that.

BUT - this most recent session revealed that the Supreme Court is no longer a body of law - that between blatant corruption and blatant ideological bias, it can and will just conjure whatever ruling might serve the interests of Trump and his coattail-riders out of thin air.

So there's no telling.

No, at least not successfully. The convention hasn't even happened yet. There's no legal path for a lawsuit to even be close to legitimate.

You can sue anyone for any reason. Winning a case is another story.
