Absolute positioned element hidden within select2 container bounds - css

Question

I want my absolute positioned element with the class .box to overflow the select2 container's bounds, but it doesn't seem to work.
HTML:
<div>
<img class='nasaLogo' src='https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/4579/NASA_meatball.png'/>
<span>Multi select with image using Select2</span>
</div>
<select style="width:300px" id="states" multiple="true">
<option value=""></option>
<optgroup label="Alaskan/Hawaiian Time Zone">
<option value="AK">Alaska</option>
<option value="HI">Hawaii</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
CSS:
#import "compass/css3";
#states{
margin: 20px;
}
.box {
position: absolute;
width: 500px;
height: 50px;
background-color: red;
