In that scenario, the states with split delegations would be unable to cast a vote until someone decided to cross party lines. A candidate would need the votes of 26 states to win, so if those states were decisive, balloting would continue until the deadlock could be broken. If the deadlock persisted until January 20th, then the Vice President elect would assume the duties of acting president until the house deadlock could be broken.
If the election is thrown to the House, D.C. gets no say in choosing the president.
