Their intention was to recount ballots in those areas until the election outcome was reversed, and then stop the recount.
If the hanging chad indicated a vote for Fiedler, the lawyer for the other side picked up the ballot ever so carefully, so he could argue that the voter really never intended to vote for Fiedler.
