3. My qualifier is "If all the votes are in" and we're talking purely about recount

Which was the premise of the OP. If there's some large numbers of vote uncounted yet, that's another matter. But if we're talking pure recount, a 1,000 vote shift is really the upper limit, and I'd say anything over 500 is unlikely.

No recount in history has reversed a 22,000 vote deficit, and it's unlikely that any has undone even 10% of that.
