California's common law encompasses the alcalde. Does Virginia's?

I have no idea and it is not relevant to anything. Common law can be tossed aside or changed by statute.

Except your false claim of uniformity.

The British common law for libel "presumes in the plaintiff's favour that the words are false, unless and until the defendant proves the contrary."

What state has that as a standard in its common law?
