Just making sure, so the bottom wire is 2 wires going into the same hookup? I thought it might have been a 3 way because of the 3 wires + ground.

The two wires at the bottom connection are power in and power out. The switch controlled hot is at the top.

You guys are so electrically smart...sometimes you complicate the easy stuff...lol
Assuming its a toggle switch by the size, the easy way to tell if its a 3 way switch or not is to look for ON and OFF embossed on the toggle. Don't even need to remove it.
Of course I know you all can immediately tell by looking at the back.

Scott I had thought about posting that it could be one in with two out but did not want to confuse so I went with the more common setup.
