Election contests as cases move extremely quickly, and you want to ensure you have all your ducks in a row before you file. The SC didn't rule until the day before in Bush v. Gore, and they can move rather quickly when they need to. I wouldn't expect SCOTUS to take up a case until next week, since they probably want to see how our other cases are moving through the system.
Dec 8 FL Supreme ruled for Gore, ordering recount.
Dec 9 Bush appealed to SCOTUS. Seems immediate injunction granted.
10-11 Scotus arguments and interim rulings.
Dec 12 Scotus rules 'for Bush' stops recount.
Note it was a singular kind of issue - gore got counties to agree to recount after certification, wanted a recount...state supreme agreed, scotus just had to yea/nay if they were within the law.
Imo our situation, multiple states, multiple issues (proving fraud, tossing votes) is a lot more complex...
Most of them aren't ours, and there are only two or three cases sitting at the SC's lap. They may be waiting to see what comes out of the others, since I doubt they'll risk civil outrage if it doesn't change the outcome of the election.

Brief timeline https://freedomwire.com/the-bush-v-gore-timeline-and-its-relevance-to-the-2020-election/
As an election contest? I'm not sure, unfortunately.
They ruled to stop a recount! They did not rule to invalidate votes!
Most of them aren't ours, and there are only two or three cases sitting at the SC's lap. They may be waiting to see what comes out of the others, since I doubt they'll risk civil outrage if it doesn't change the outcome of the election.
Those weren't our cases.
