I disagree, I suggest you read:

Basically it explains that if the compiler contains the trojan, then
even auditing source code will never catch it.  Such a trojan could only
be caught by auditing the binaries after compilation.

Only a voter verified paper audit trail could prevent this kind of
attack on an election process.
