A. To give his party unfair advantage. The process is known as gerrymandering, and is done by state legislatures throughout the country. District lines are drawn to guarantee a member of a certain party will always get elected from that district, and this is best done by giving the other party a district where they will have an overwhelming majority of voters, while giving neighboring districts in your party sizable majorities. You give up one seat, but may get 4 or 5 in return.
