Redistricting can benefit various groups, primarily political parties and incumbents. When district boundaries are redrawn, parties may gain an advantage by creating districts that favor their candidates, often referred to as gerrymandering. Additionally, incumbents may benefit as redistricting can be designed to protect their electoral chances.
