//div[@id='State']//input[@class='state-dropdown list']

The valid cssSelector for this xpath would be :-

div#State input.state-dropdown.list

From CSS Selector Reference

CSS #id Selector use to locate an element with their id attribute value
CSS element element Selector use to locate element that is inside paranet element. In your case, cssSelector would be locate <input> elements that would be inside <div> element.
CSS .class Selector use to locate an element with their class attribute value

the cssSelector for above xpath is

div#State input.state-dropdown.list

here # represents id and . represents class name.
