The super-prepared Texas voter who came equipped with her chair, her snacks and her “grown folks hair” to wait out a long poll line says her popular TikTok was actually an important PSA.null
Belinda Varnado tells 360 aproko … the purpose of her instantly viral clip was to make sure seniors, like herself, come prepared to make sure they don’t miss out on their opportunity to vote.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1316576818938421249&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tmz.com%2F2020%2F10%2F18%2Fpatriotic-prepared-voter-belinda-varnado-video-help-seniors%2F&siteScreenName=TMZ&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px
She’s seen all the news about ridiculously long lines for early voting — where people have to wait for up to 15 hours — and she knows all that standing doesn’t work for folks up in age.
So, Belinda’s encouraging her peers to pack the right gear, be prepared to hunker down … but stay determined to cast their ballots.
She and her daughter, Chevelle Brooks, are also stressing the importance of voting early — especially this year — and Belinda’s not shy about her ultimate goal either.
BTW, Belinda tells us she ended up waiting for about 90 minutes to vote in Sugar Land, TX — but like she said, there wasn’t s**t that was gonna stop her
