it's not a forfeit, there are provisions if a candidate is unable to continue:

The Democratic Party’s Rule F states:

In the event of death, resignation or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies

what happens to the ballots (early and mail in) for Joe? it's a bit murky, but near as I can tell, they cannot be reassigned to the DNC's replacement candidate, nor do the voter get a chance to re-vote.
