How long does it usually take for the SCOTUS to vote on whether to accept the case? That is the first step and that cannot be taken for granted. They need 4 Justices to agree to hear the case.
Remember, the SCOTUS deadlocked 4-4 in October on whether to hear the Pennsylvania case allowing late ballots to be accepted.
Granted, Alito instructed PA to separate the late ballots if the case came up again. But the vote should not have been that close to begin with.
4-4 on whether to count ballots received AFTER Election Day. That should have been 8-0.
