So far, Google has either returned a two-word name ("Rhode Island") or
the two-letter abbreviation ("AK"). The two-letter abbreviation has
had dots in it in the past ("A.K."). The geocoder hasn't returned a
single-word name like "Alaska" yet.
One solution which has been suggested in the past, based on this past
performance, is
stateAbbreviation = stateAbbreviation.replace(/[^A-Z]/g,'');
which would alter results like
"Rhode Island" to RI
"South Dakota" to SD
"New York" to NY
"A.K." to AK
while leaving a result like "WA" unaltered. That single line could
certainly replace your "splitting" code.
