How do you know for sure the code you review really runs on the voting machine on the poll date? How do you really know? You don't. You trust some regulators who inspect the machine. Then let the regulators check the cars too. I imagine tons of false alarms coming from the public (run out of fuel? open Safari, submit bug report "car not runs").

Anyone can build it. Signing the build, you know what build was installed. Independent observers can verify this, just as they can verify a count of paper ballots.
