So, how much Jersey Klan was Democrat, do you think? 90%, 99%, all?

This was rural NY, not NJ. In that area, at that time, Democrats were about as common as blizzards in July.
My Dad was one, and there were at least 30-40 others in the township. The Republicans there had been in power so long, they felt they owned the place; and there were a few who treated local, county, or state government as if it were a cash cow. ( Politicians, no matter what their stripe, find it hard to resist being politicians.)

Up until the late '60s, the Klan was an exclusively Democratic organization. Republicans, like Jews and Roman Catholics were barred from membership.
