Correct answer: increasing the chances of one party enacting its platform in state legislatures and the House of Representatives.

Reason: Gerrymandering redraws district lines to concentrate or disperse voters in ways that favor one party, creating many "safe" seats. That boosts that party's seat share and makes it easier to pass its agenda at state and federal levels.
