13. If the OP is accurate, Biden will be up 10,000 votes when these post

On the low end! Might even hit 11,000.

Trump would have to take over 66% of 30,000 remaining ballots to make it up. There are not 30,000 remaining ballots.

He'd have to take 75% of 20,000 remaining ballots to simply tie. There are not 20,000 remaining ballots.

Sure, they're in "recount territory," but seriously, when have you ever heard of a recount reversing a 10,000 vote lead? Most modern recounts don't move the vote count in the tens or hundreds. The Florida recount shifted the votes a few hundred here and there.

So, there are not enough ballots out there, and Trump can't pull the needed percentages if there were. No recount in modern history has reversed a 7,000 vote margin, much less the 10,000 that's surely coming.

It is at this point delusional and irresponsible not to call the state. It's a done deal. Biden's won Georgia.
