Why did the commission award Hayes the disputed electoral votes and the 1876 election?

The commission was made up of members chosen from both parties, but its Republicans and Democrats ultimately voted along party lines. The Republican majority awarded the disputed electoral votes to Rutherford B. Hayes, giving him enough votes to win the 1876 election. The commission did not award them because Tilden was found corrupt, and Democrats did not agree that the votes belonged to Hayes.
