At the heart of the plan was an effort to empower Mr. Trump’s allies in Congress to hand him the election.
Under the Constitution, if the Electoral College deadlocks or if no candidate receives a majority of its votes, the House of Representatives decides the victor.
Each state delegation casts a single vote in these so-called “contingent elections.” Under that scenario, Mr. Trump would almost certainly have won.
