If Nixon had won the election, was he already intending to send in the US military to aid the invasion? Aiding the Cuban invaders stuck on the beach could be the excuse for US intervention (plus the usual excuses of "national security," "American interests," etc). And wasn't there another half-assed attempt to kill Castro before the invasion, in the hope that it would spread confusion and hurt Cuban morale?
