It’s not intentional gerrymandering the same way that can happen when laying out congressional districts every 10 years, but it’s a form of gerrymandering from where the state boundaries got drawn. In addition, smaller population states have a disproportionate number of electoral votes, because every state gets 2 votes from their senators + a number of votes from their House members proportional to their population (minimum 1 representative, so minimum 3 total.)

Other than Nebraska and Maine, that splits their electoral votes, its winner take all within each state, so if you win a state by 1 million votes or just 1 vote, either way you win all of the state’s electoral votes.

Someone ran the numbers, based on the 2012-2021 congressional map, and worst case, you could win the popular vote 78.7% to 21.3% and still loose the election.
