No court ever shuts the door to anything as far as I'm aware. They rule on each case presented and decide on that basis.

Outside of cases brought by US States, the Supreme Court is review body. All cases have to have gone through the lower courts first and all evidence has to be presented to those lower courts - the Supreme Court does not accept new evidence.

So far there have been 58 cases brought by the Trump campaign and associates for various claims and in various state and federal courts regarding the 2020 US election. 57 of them have been lost including the Texas State case, and Mike Kelly case application to the Supreme Court.

The one case that was one was around a deadline for ID proof for a small number of ballots - that weren't in the final count of that state anyway.
