Why was the poll tax used as a voting qualification?
Because this was often a stratagem used to keep blacks from voting. Traditionally counties in the US raise revenue by taxing land and property. Few blacks owned any land in the post-war south. A poll tax is a tax on each person. Few blacks had any money to pay this tax. Neither did poor whites either, for that matter. If payment of the tax was a requirement before a person could vote, the poll tax kept most blacks and poor whites, who were otherwise qualified to vote, from voting.
