Low Voltage @ Duplex Outlet

Low Voltage @ Duplex Outlet
I am just curious. Today on an unrelated job, the occupant in an assisted living facility, asked me to check a duplex outlet because his cell phone would not charge there. I measured 68 volts and can't wrap my brain around how this could be. I verified my meter by checking other outlets and all were solid 124 volts. This is not my issue to repair, but just how can you get approx half voltage? 73 and still learning,

When you read a strange voltage..... plug something in like a floor lamp and check again. The lamp will eliminate the phantom voltage.
