In the electoral college, some voters are able to vote with three times the weight of others due to differing populations within districts that have equal college votes. Here is one source I found on Google, but the calculation is easy and there are plenty of other articles that reach similar conclusions: https://theconversation.com/whose-votes-count-the-least-in-t...
If you add in gerrymandering, it's the truth that most of our elections are "rigged" or "unfair" in a very real sense to anyone who believes in majoritarianism.
The electoral college isn't unfair, it is one of the few things ensuring fair treatment of smaller states. You might value the equal value of each vote (which is its own kind of fairness to be sure) more highly, but it is flat out disingenuous to claim that elections aren't fair due to the electoral college. The electoral college is making different fairness trade-offs than you would prefer, but that's not the same as being unfair.
