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.
