I thought I had read somewhere that the GOP needed to flip 17 seats to take back control of the House. This article seems to indicate that more than 20 are needed to do this (they have flipped 10, plus 10 they are leading, plus 4 other races that are close). So what is the correct number to flip?

The “flip 17” number is correct.

The article is confusing, because it does not identify which seats are currently held by which party. Some of the close races where the Republicans are leading are currently held by Republicans.

Numbers are confusing.

I did read 3 incumbent Rs lost House seats. Not sure where they fit in the numbers.
