I'm not sure about the KKK part but the purpose of poll tax and literacy test were restrictions to voting. A poll tax was a fee you had to pay to vote and poor people could not afford it. The literacy test made you read and explain a section of the Constitution, and most poor people did not get any education so they would not pass it. Sorry i don't know about the actions of the KKK.
