If you can assume that the user has a working keyboard, why not put
in the column four <input type=text value="??" size=3 ...> (size 3 to
show the typist that there are only two letters), and, onChange or
otherwise, look up the entries in a 60-entry table.  If any fail to
match, then pop up a small window in which the selection may be made by
full name, perhaps by 61 radiobuttons, all initially clear - 50 States,
10 Provinces, and "none of those".

BTW, are you disenfranchising those of Puerto Rico, Guam, US Samoa,
etc.; and those of St Pierre & Miquelon etc.?
