There is a point in time in which the ballot is essentially “closed” and no new names can added to it. That time is probably state-dependent.
But wouldn’t it be a great irony if Trump’s name is on the ballot, but he is no longer the candidate, and the electors at the electoral college are forced to either be a faithless elector (by voting for someone other than Trump because, after all, he isn’t running) or vote for Trump even though he isn’t really the Republican candidate.
