What could cause this:
GFCI on a supposedly grounded circuit. Wires appear to be installed
correctly at the GFCI.
3 light tester shows Open Ground.
115V between hot and neutral
54V between hot and ground lug
46V between neutral and ground lug
Thoughts?
first thought is to **** can the digital and use an analog meter. *Then
retest.

....or I could test 3 other grounded circuits in the same house and see
what that same meter reads.
In all three cases the meter reads:
115V between hot and neutral
115V between hot and ground lug
0V between neutral and ground lug
I'm guessing the meter's fine and the problem is with the circuit.
