I haven't checked every way in the area but it looks like most of
these aren't TIGER roads to begin with. You created them  (version 1)
then balrog-kun renamed expanded all the street name abbreviations
(version 2) so they are in version 2 and last touched by balrog-kun
which is why they are being rendered as red. The TIGER edited map
isn't really intended for these ways since they aren't originally
TIGER data.

I guess it would be nice to turn ways that weren't imported from TIGER
green, regardless of last editor and version number. But only the
current version of the way is available for inspection while rendering
so this is kind of hard to do...

Only objects with tiger:* tags should be candidates for being red. I'd suggest looking for the tiger:county or tiger:name_base tags, since some have removed other tiger:* tags but left ones like tiger:cfcc or tiger:zip_* for reference.

However, I find another problem. When I split a TIGER-imported way and keep the tiger:* tags on it, I end up with what looks like a TIGER way, but isn't. It has tiger:*=* and v=1 (or v=2 if I edited it again). However, the UID is mine, not balrog-kun or DaveHansenTiger, so filtering for this would solve the problem as well.

In summary, I propose to add the following requirements to the existing filter for turning a feature red:
- Must have tiger:name_base tag
- UID must be balrog_kun or DaveHansenTiger
