Opinion of the Court
in the first instance whether the consolidated municipal court system is retrogressive compared to the system existing in 1968.
The County has not discharged its obligation to submit its voting changes to either of the forums designated by Congress. The requirement of federal scrutiny should be satisfied without further delay. See Berry v. Doles, 438 U. S., at 192. The State appears willing to assist the County in pursuing the issue before either the Attorney General or the District Court for the District of Columbia, and its effort will doubtless be of assistance.
The judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
It is so ordered.
