Different principles apply. One's an application for a ballot, and a ministerial act of doing something that might just as easily have been pre-printed on the application, and but for a printing error, would have been. The other is the voter's only act on the actual ballot, and by its very nature is the only evidence of the voter's intent.

A better question might be, what if someone other than the voter cleans off the loose chad from the back of the ballot? (The elections personnel do.) Does it invalidate the ballot? (No.)
