The Philadelphia County Board of Elections on Thursday asked the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to review a lower court ruling that gave the Trump campaign more leeway to watch the vote count.

The request for appeal comes just hours after the lower court ruling was handed down, and as an estimated 92 percent of the vote count showed President Trump holding a slight lead over Democratic nominee Joe Biden, according to The New York Times.

Trump celebrated the lower court development as a major victory, though election law experts said that if the ruling stands its likely impact would be more limited.

“Big legal win in Pennsylvania!” Trump tweeted. 

This developing report will be updated.
