The dissent was a procedural matter as to whether the Supreme Court is allowed to deny hearing the case as it came from a State, as that is within the 'Original Juristiction' of the Supreme Court.
The Judges were 9-0 that the requested relief asked for in the case wasn't to be granted even if the case had been heard:

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas said they would have heard the case -- without granting other relief, like issuing an injunction on electoral proceedings. They added that they expressed "no view on any other issue."

So it is possible that other cases could be escalated to the Supreme Court, but they would have to make it through all the lower courts first, which so far none have due to lack of standing or evidence.
