How can i optimize this python code
- by RandomVector
def maxVote(nLabels):
    count = {}
    maxList = []
    maxCount = 0
    for nLabel in nLabels:
        if nLabel in count:
            count[nLabel] += 1
        else:
            count[nLabel] = 1
    #Check if the count is max
        if count[nLabel] > maxCount:
            maxCount = count[nLabel]
            maxList = [nLabel,]
        elif count[nLabel]==maxCount:
            maxList.append(nLabel)
    return random.choice(maxList) 
nLabels contains a list of integers. 
The above function returns the integer with highest frequency, if more than one have same frequency then a randomly selected integer from them is returned.
E.g. maxVote([1,3,4,5,5,5,3,12,11]) is 5
