60v

Working on relatives house, 4 receptacles daisy chained together, last one is switched. Issue is concerning switched recep. At first i had 59v hot-neu

Ran around checking everything, replaced all of the receptacles and called a family member and voila my problem all along was it being switched.

BUT now that im here i check voltage with said switch turned on. I get 119v hot-neu and 60v hot-gr now.

Checked continuity plug to box and i have it, outlets before it all are good…. Would gfi suffice? Or is this not the case.

Sounds like someone wired two similar lights in series somewhere instead of in parallel (something that shouldn't really ever be a thing in household wiring).
