Independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin’s longshot candidacy is dependent on attempting to block Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
from obtaining 270 electoral votes and sending the election to the
House of Representatives, according to a McMullin campaign memo obtained
by ABC News.
"Donald Trump cannot win. So the goal must be to
keep Hillary Clinton from reaching 270 electoral votes and send the
election to the House of Representatives,” according to the memo titled
“How Evan McMullin can win and why it’s so important,” written by chief
strategist Joel Searby. “Once in the House, against the backdrop of Trump and Clinton’s deeply divisive positions and after a strong electoral college showing, we believe Evan’s unifying message will prevail,” Searby writes under the subhead, "So what’s the end game?”

It’s an apparent acknowledgment that a traditional campaign won’t work for the independent candidate’s uphill efforts. An election hasn’t been decided by the House of Representatives since 1824.
