Speaking at the Tea Party national convention, former congressman Tom Tancredo suggested that people should be required to pass a 'civics literacy' test before being allowed to vote.

The Littleton Republican said it would be modeled after the test given by the U.S. Customs and Immigration Services. Here are 20 questions from a list of 100 used for that agency's test. (see the entire list: http://bit.ly/bS). A passing grade is 12 right, or higher.
