In Washington DC, where large numbers of Federal employees have teleworked this week to avoid Inauguration Day preparations and several inches of snow, Empire Poker's seen a notable increase in traffic to its poker site, with a 28% spike on Inauguration Day.

The Washington Times story, "Homebound locals ante up for inaugural," quotes Empire Poker president Ron Burke:
