I would include the two-character postal code for each state as the values and add the label attribute with the state's name as it's value like the following.

<datalist id="states">
  <option label="Alabama" value="al"></option>
  <option label="Alaska" value="ak"></option>
  <option label="Arizona" value="az"></option>
  ...
  <option label="West Virginia" value="wv"></option>
  <option label="Wisconsin" value="wi"></option>
  <option label="Wyoming" value="wy"></option>
</datalist>
