Well I opened it up and there is no ground. It is part of the old house that still has the old Cloth covered wire in it.

I then checked the voltage and it is 116.8 Volts. It is an older Ballast with T-12 lamps.

There is a receptacle close by that I could pull a ground off of. It is connected back at the panel and goes out the what appears to be a newer ground rod. I know sometime before we moved in 2 years they added some circuits in the house.
