Rational people will understand that small shifts one way or the other would be a result of a closer look at the actual ballots. Irrational people will think that any shift is evidence of voter fraud. Those people are already fucking convinced of voter fraud because they want what they want.

If there is a huge shift in either direction, shouldn't we know this and why?

We are already here. Voter suppression is going to explode over the next four years. Republicans will pack the courts with assholes who will uphold voter suppression laws. The DOJ will not investigate anything. Voter fraud is, effectively, now truth. Holding a recount will not affect this significantly in either direction.
