They had to immediately withdraw the order as they realized that most Americans would not be able to pass the same test.

The term "grandfather in" came from southern voter suppression laws aimed at blacks; "poll literacy tests" were implemented to create a barrier to black voting, but if you could prove your grandfather voted you didn't have to pass the test.
