Almost EVERY State assigns its Electoral college votes to the majority winner in THAT State only 2 States apportion it among districts. So No gerrymandering had no effect on the Presidential election.

Correct.
Only if the House ended up voting for President as are the provisions of the 12th Amendment.
Or if the election is close enough to where the margin is 5 or fewer electoral votes. ME and NE have 5 electoral votes that are apportioned by congressional district.
