e.g. Elections_in_Dakota,_Maine is not a title that should have a redirect Elections_in_Dakota,_ME as that type of redirect isnt likely to be a direct data entry, and it clutters the search results / suggestions lists.
The script currently does create any article which has a state suffix, as that is what the compat us-states.py script did.

If the script used pagegenerators, it would probably be possible to filter out undesirable titles to be created, or maybe that depends on bug T56537.
