Unfortunately, since when have we followed the Constitution in the last fifty years? 
 
 

Aside from speculation on the internet, if we are following 'house rules' laid out in the constitution, here is what happens next.  On January 6th in a Congressional session Vice President Mike Pence counts the votes.  If he receives votes for Biden and Trump from the same state, the state would likely be cancelled (voided).  If the 7 states were deleted for Biden, neither candidate would have the 270 required, and the solution would be to have the Congress vote for President, but with 1 state holding 1 vote each, which has a Republican majority in both houses.  In this scenario, Congress would re-elect President Trump.

Furthermore, this is not without precedent, something far more extreme happened in 1876:...
