What? 97% of U.S. people have potassium-deficient diets, which is greater than the 68% of U.S. people who have magnesium-deficient diets (according to your source). I agree that anyone who is taking potassium supplements should carefully monitor their potassium intake, but almost all foods have low enough levels of potassium that excessive potassium consumption is extremely rare. The FDA limits most potassium supplements in the U.S. to 99 mg per dose, an insignificant 2% of the Daily Value.*
