The NYT is just hoping this anecdotal story allays the suspicions of it happening elsewhere.
There are scenario's where politics might be different between spouses, for instance if the woman in question happened to be republican and didn't like her husband voting democrat, she could possibly of mailed in the vote just to do something to spite the husband etc.
That means yes you could have a fraudlent vote, but the conditions as to why it was fraud is something that can only be discovered on investigation and it might not be as clean cut as you might initially percieve (In this instance it could be proven to be a a Republican evil intent ).
