in most states its all or nothing so its the popular vote of the state. I think some have some sort of proportional but not sure if its based on districts.
Adding onto the other commenter - yes the electoral college skews votes towards less populous states. But state borders weren’t drawn with this intent, so it isn’t gerrymandering.
The Constitution allowed for midwest states to have a minimum number of college votes so Congress would not be dominated by the biggest states.
But since then, the population of those states has grown so that they meet the numbers for those votes anyway, exception in a few cases, and even then the disproportion is small.
What about the electoral college?

It doesn’t though.
It used to, that is true, but it no longer does.

only two states award electors by district, the rest are winner-take-all
