Replacing Light Switches
I am going through the house and changing all light switches. My house is wired with 12 gauge wires. Most of the switches in the house have more than two wires, 2 are usually on the screws and a couple plugged into the holes on the back of the switch. Unfortunately all the switches that I have found for sale are only fit for 14 gauge wire. What is the solution to this?

There are four connections on a switch. Two screw terminals and two push-in terminals.
There is a push-in near each screw terminal. That is one connection. Those two wires can be combined into one.
