I replaced all or my sockets and switches in my home a couple of years

Yea I know google groups and an analog voltmeter. I get it...

Anyway. How it that possible? Is there a bad connection up the line of
outlets that would cause it to read 50 volts instead of the normal 115
or 120?

Insufficient info.
50 volts with something plugged in or not plugged in etc.? Switch on
or off?
50 volts in reference to what? Ground? Live to neutral?
If the workmanship of replacing the outlets and switches was as vague
as the enquiry ........ !!!!
needs to be more specific.
Back stabbed outlets again?????
