The U.S. Supreme Court have given Corporations Personhood. Would they be given the right to suffrage?

I mean if corporations have people rights and they have the right to exercise the Frist Amendment rights to free speech. So why stop there? Afterall the right of suffrage is part of the first Amendment.

Update:

Ollicopter. Isn't it obvious to you that is not really the part of the party but the people behind the party. The real person behind the party is the signer as the party. In fact a signature is required. A corporation can not or is incapable of signing a legal document. The person is the official representing the corporation. In fact if the corporation is deem guilty of criminal wrong doing, Who goes to jail? Not the corporation of course, the the CEO who is the person behind the corporation. The ruling of the supreme court to give personhood status to corporation is the most perverted misdirected decision ever made by the supreme court in American since it's founding. It is begging for a repeal.

    When you have a contract between corporations one of them will read as the party of the first part and the other will read the party of the second part. In law when dealing with a suit by and individual against a corporation would you suspect one would be the plaintif and the other the defendant? I would.
